The faculty members of the UK Theory & Composition program are engaged in active creation and research with distinction in popular music studies, pedagogy, Schenkerian studies, 19th-century music, and commissioned compositions.
We offer PhD and MA degrees in music theory, the MM and DMA in composition, as well as a concentration in theory or composition within the BA degree.
Our program is small enough to enable extensive direct contact with faculty, and our graduates find themselves well-prepared for their careers or further study. Contact the coordinator of the Theory & Composition Division Kevin Holm-Hudson for requirements.
