The Department also offers programs that normally lead to the Doctor of Musical Arts degree in Music Performance. Masters Degrees in Music History and Theory, in Ethnomusicology, in Composition, and in Music Performance are also available. Stony Brook’s programs have grown out of an unusual partnership between the academy and the conservatory. The Music Department has a distinguished and well-balanced faculty in the areas of music history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition, and performance. The degree programs are designed to favor interaction among musical disciplines that have traditionally been kept separate. For example, the performance programs at Stony Brook all have an academic component. Graduate courses typically have a healthy mix of students from all areas. A number of courses are team taught by two or more faculty members, examining topics from several disciplinary viewpoints.

  • Framework for the Future
    THE FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE FINAL REPORT January 2020 The Framework for the Future: Prefatory Remarks Brandeis University is at an important crossroads in its 72-year history. Founded by the American Jewish community on the principles of academic excellence and openness in hiring and admissions practices, Brandeis has achieved an inspiring degree of success — not just as a young university committed to educating undergraduates in the liberal arts but also as a major research institution. The Framework for the Future provides a scaffolding for the university’s coming decades. It is rooted in the institution’s history and builds upon its unique place in higher education. The Framework is the synthesis of more than three years of broad consultations with focus groups, including prospective students, current students, alumni, faculty, staff, trustees, friends, and parents. It is also based on responses from multiple alumni surveys; information gleaned from 30 “self-reflection” documents written by faculty and administrators; and the work of four task forces, composed of 11 working groups, which forwarded for consideration more than 250 recommendations. The synthesis of these sources does not include many of the recommendations that came out of the task force reports. Rather, it offers some overarching themes that require our attention most urgently as we seek to plan and advance Brandeis’ future. And while the Framework provides guideposts within which we will pursue many initiatives, its purpose is not to identify all the university’s plans, strengths, and achievements. Instead, it outlines a series of strategic initiatives and investments, especially in areas where we have over the years underinvested, which will allow us to build a stronger Brandeis over the next several years.
