Doctor of Musical Arts - Jazz Performance

The faculty of the College of Music has modeled the DMA degree programs at CU Boulder after the guiding principles outlined by the National Association of Schools of Music. This professional degree is intended for composers, conductors and performers who possess both creative and scholarly abilities. Graduates of this program go on to careers as composers and performers in solo, chamber music, opera, jazz or orchestra, or as choral, jazz, band andor orchestral conductors. A particular focus of the DMA is the preparation for a career as a college, conservatory or university teacher. Students work closely with an advisor in developing a degree plan that reflects their needs and interests.
