Seminar on Music in Higher Education

The course will examine issues germane to the ways and contexts (liberal arts college, land grant college, research university, conservatory) in which music functions as a discipline in American higher education. It will trace its roots from the medieval European university (in the quadrivium) to the present. It also will speak to a range of contemporary issues, including but not limited to rank, promotion, tenure, creative activities as a research endeavor, accreditation, curricular innovation, etc.
