The Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) in Music Research is a four-year undergraduate degree requiring 122 to 126 credit hours, offered by the Marcel A. Desautels Faculty of Music at the University of Manitoba. As with other B.Mus. tracks, students complete four years of Music Theory and Musicianship courses, ensemble participation, and Major Practical Study in a primary instrument or voice, split between major and minor practical study options. The research concentration is distinguished by required Research Methods coursework in year three and a Special Area Paper in year four, alongside dedicated music research electives in musicology and music theory. The programme also includes non-music electives for breadth. It suits students aiming to build strong analytical and scholarly skills in music history, theory, or musicology, preparing them for graduate research, teaching, or other careers requiring rigorous musical scholarship combined with practical performance training.
