Higher Education Programs in Sacred Music

chonak

I'd like to start a list of institutions offering programs in sacred music that may be of interest to readers, particularly those with a significant on-line or summer-study component:

The University of St. Andrews in Scotland offers a postgraduate certificate in sacred music for church musicians.
The University of Mary in Bismarck, ND offers an MA program in Music intended for church musicians and music teachers.
The Catholic Institute for Sacred Music, at St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, CA, offers summer programs and year-round events.

I would add

– Notre Dame (MSM, DMA)
– Yale Institute of Sacred Music (MM, DMA)
– Westminster Choir College (BM, MM, now possible to do some online)

The first two are fully-funded programs.

The Institute of Sacred Music at St. Stephen's House, Oxford, and the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, both in England, offer a post-graduate diploma and an MA in Worship and Liturgical Studies.
