Musicology at LSU LSU's graduate program in musicology stresses diversity and flexibility of approach while providing a firm grounding in historical and theoretical methods. Students have abundant opportunities to work individually with an internationally recognized faculty. The cooperation of the combined history and theory faculty provides a stimulating environment for the free exchange of a variety of viewpoints. In collaboration with an advisor, students construct a curriculum around a common core to suit their particular needs and interests. Survey courses provide a foundation for specialized seminars in both history and theory that cover a wide range of topics and guide students through the techniques of independent research and critical thinking. Informal colloquia and lectures by visiting scholars augment the regular course offerings. Students may also pursue numerous related subjects. As a comprehensive school of music, LSU provides instruction in composition, music education, jazz studies, and conducting, as well as in most instruments and voice. Qualified musicians can find significant performance opportunities in the School's orchestras, bands, ensembles (chamber, jazz, and new music), and Collegium Musicum. Musicology students are encouraged to take courses in LSU departments outside music.
