What is this MA program all about?

This unique interdisciplinary degree synthesizes topics in world music, Christianity and global intercultural studies. Christian musicians with diverse interests and career goals will benefit from consideration of how music, Christianity and world cultures have shaped and continue to shape one another. The curriculum goes beyond focus on unique elements of various world musics (as in ethnomusicology), to how such elements have been and can be brought together to create ever-fresh musical expressions. The degree holds particular relevance for those wanting to prepare for further graduate studies, professional activities and service at the nexus of music, education and Christian ministry in the twenty-first century global milieu.

Classes forming now for May and June 2010!
