The Master of Sacred Music (MSM or SMM) degree is a two to five-year post-baccalaureate degree that combines academic and musical studies. The closure of graduate programs in organ performance across America has made the MSM increasingly the de facto degree for advanced studies in church music; MSM graduates who wish to continue their studies have the option of academic (Ph.D. or Th.D.) or applied (DMA) tracks. Most MSM programs are limited to choral conducting and organ performance, as these two applied fields are the primary occupations of church music directors. Piano Performance is usually taught as a subdiscipline or acquired separately.
Master of Sacred Music programs in the United States include:
Boston University School of Theology, Boston, MA[1]
School of Sacred Music at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, New York, NY[2]
Cantorial school of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York, NY[3]
Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX[4]
Westminster Choir College at Rider University[5]
University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN[6]
University of St. Thomas, Houston, TX[7]
Boston University's program is the oldest (BU is also host to the oldest higher education program in music in the United States) and Notre Dame's[8] is the youngest (admitting its first students for Fall 2005). An MSM program at Union Theological Seminary was dissolved when UTS' Institute of Sacred Music was dissolved and moved to Yale.[9]
On November 14, 2012, Luther Seminary ended its MSM program; then-current students were permitted to finish out their studies, but no new applicants were accepted following the decision, which was made by President Richard Bliese against the recommendations of the seminary's Educational Leadership Committee (ELC).
