Master of Music in Composition

at DePaul University

The Master of Music in composition program offers students one-on-one instruction with the School of Music's distinguished faculty of active composers as well as many seminars with guest composers and performers from Chicago and across the country. Graduate composition majors have their compositions performed during DePaul Composers Forum, a quarterly student composition concert, and submit works to be read and possibly performed by Ensemble 20+, DePaul Wind Ensemble, University Singers or the DePaul Chamber Orchestra. The School of Music also offers two assistantships to graduate composition students.
