The Master of Arts in Ethnomusicology at the Eastman School of Music, University of Rochester, is an intensive graduate program that studies global musical traditions from both academic and practical perspectives. Students receive advanced training in ethnomusicological theory, research methods, fieldwork, and performance. The curriculum includes coursework such as Introduction to Ethnomusicology, Approaches to Ethnography, world music ensemble participation (Gamelan, Mbira, or South Indian Drumming), electives, and a thesis project. Students work closely with ethnomusicology faculty, join diverse performance ensembles, and can undertake fieldwork in locations ranging from Detroit to Bali and Chennai to China. The degree requires a minimum of 35 credits and two consecutive semesters of full-time residency (at least 9 credits per semester). A comprehensive oral exam and demonstration of reading proficiency in a relevant foreign language are also required. 来源： https://www.esm.rochester.edu/admissions/grad/ma/
