📚About the Program

Master’s in Music at Houghton College

Building on the foundation of a well-established undergraduate music program, the graduate program in music seeks to foster fine music-making combined with academic rigor, informed and deepened by Christian perspective. Many graduate programs achieve musical excellence; many also combine that excellence with serious academic engagement. But Houghton’s intent is to establish a uniquely Christian synthesis of disciplined art with thoughtfully reasoned Christian perspective, deliberately connected to the wider world of learning.
