PhD Programs in Composition
Composition is an educational program that teaches students how to create and compose their own music. By studying composition, students may be able to generate and transcribe their own musical creations, orchestrate band and ensembles, and understand as well as appreciate important historical compositions.
The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
