All undergraduate music majors at UNM take a one-year survey of Western music history, and most of our degree plans require students to deepen and broaden this introduction through upper-level courses in Western music and/or contemporary world music. Undergraduate students wishing to specialize in music history should follow the degree plan for the Bachelor of Arts in Music, using elective hours for appropriate courses in the field.
At the graduate level, UNM offers a Master of Music in Music History and Literature. Students who plan to pursue a doctorate in musicology should further prepare themselves with keyboard skills and foreign language proficiency.
