Cornell University, based in Ithaca, New York offers a fully funded PhD in Musicology. The doctoral program in musicology is uniquely flexible; it is developed individually, in consultation with the student’s Special Committee, and students may combine their study in the Field of Music (historical musicology, ethnomusicology, theory, composition, and performance practice) with work in other Fields of study at Cornell. Students accepted into the Ph.D. program are guaranteed five full years of financial support, in the form of two years of fellowships (usually taken in the first and fifth years) and three years of teaching assistantships.
