PhD Programs in Music: Musicology, Theory, Composition and More
Programs whose official award is a Doctor of Philosophy. DMA programs and other practice doctorates are on their own page; a faculty member’s interests alone never create a subject-specific PhD.
DMA vs PhDDMA programsAll doctorates
A PhD is a research degree. Practice-based routes exist only where the institution describes them.

How results are ordered: alphabetically by institution, or by most recently checked when you choose that sort. There is no price ranking, because tuition in different currencies, fee categories and bases (per year, per credit, whole program) is not comparable. A program appears under a subject only through a verified link (dedicated degree, major, concentration or documented pathway). A value we could not verify is shown as “not published”, never as “no”. Items marked Sponsored are paid placements; they never change verification or order. Online programs are not counted as physically located in a state or city, and an institution’s location does not tell you whether it enrols students from your country.
