The Department of Music at Columbia University is organized into four academic "areas," reflecting the major divisions of modern musical scholarship. These areas administer distinctive tracks within our graduate program, leading to the degrees of PhD in Musicology (with a specialization in Ethnomusicology, Historical Musicology, or Music Theory) or the DMA in Composition.While faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, and graduate students are listed as affiliated with particular areas, many of us are members of two or three different areas, and all of us work across these borders to some extent. We embrace an increasingly interdisciplinary approach to music scholarship, even as we maintain longstanding commitments to our core disciplines. The areas also work together to provide a broad and comprehensive undergraduate offering for both music majors and the larger undergraduate constituency of the Department. Several distinctive scholarly and musical foci cross-cut our area divisions as well, such as our broad coverage of issues in American music, and our diverse approaches to music/language relationships.

Science Channel to Present EINSTEIN AND HAWKING: UNLOCKING THE UNIVERSE
by Kaitlin Milligan - March 01, 2019


Science Channel will commemorate the one-year anniversary of the passing of one the greatest scientific minds the world has ever known, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, with a two-hour special that explores his connection to Albert Einstein, and their enormous influence on our understanding of the Universe. Einstein's general theory of relativity laid the groundwork for much of modern physics, including Hawking's work on black holes and the Big Bang. Hawking's landmark best seller, A Brief History of Time, introduced these theories in layman's terms to a mass audience, catapulting Hawking to a level of science superstardom not seen since Einstein. EINSTEIN AND HAWKING: UNLOCKING THE UNIVERSE premieres Sunday, March 10 at 8pm ET/PT on Science Channel.
