 The Department of Music at the University of California, Davis, offers
a curriculum based on a synthesis of music scholarship, performance, and composition. Undergraduate majors can pursue Bachelor of Arts
degree tracks in performance, composition and theory, or history. A Master of Arts program leads to Doctor of Philosophy degrees in the fields of composition and theory, musicology, or ethnomusicology. The department also offers a master's emphasis in conducting. A distinguished teaching faculty of 14 faculty and 25 applied faculty serves some 140 undergraduate music students and 23 graduate students.
Many of the department's graduates successfully continue their
education in the best graduate schools and move into a variety of
related careers. Department assets include a diverse collection of
instruments and facilities, such as an extensive music library and an electronic music studio.
 The Department of Music presents more than 100 events each year by a range of ensembles,
including the UC
Davis Symphony Orchestra, University Chorus and Chamber Singers,
Empyrean Ensemble, Concert Band and Wind Ensemble, Early Music and
Baroque Ensembles, Jazz Band, Gospel Choir, Hindustani Vocal Ensemble,
Gamelan Ensemble, and Samba School. The department sponsors an
annual artist-in-residence program, bringing internationally renowned
artists for performances and lectures. The department also presents a
free weekly noon-concert series, which features visiting artists,
department ensembles, and student performers in an informal setting. To
