Mission Statement

The Esther Boyer College of Music is committed to nurturing and advancing music as a form of human expression, as an art, and as a subject for intellectual inquiry.

Recognizing that music possesses unique powers - to move the spirit, to excite the mind, to reveal the past, to chart the future, to instruct, to heal, and to foster communication - the College seeks to perpetuate music in its myriad forms through creative and scholarly work, teaching, and service, according to the highest artistic and academic standards.

As an integral part of Temple University, the Boyer College shares the ideals of Russell Conwell upon which Temple was founded: to recognize talent and personal potential wherever they may be found; to provide educational opportunities for meritorious students of limited financial means; and to serve as a constructive presence in the wider Philadelphia community.

Institutional Objectives

In carrying out its mission, the Boyer College seeks both to continue the long tradition of artistry and scholarship that we have inherited, and to develop new insights, perspectives, and practices. This dual objective - to explore both past and future, old and new - is reflected broadly in the life of the College: in curricula and instruction; institutional policy; the professional activities of faculty; advisement of students; and musical performances.

For the art of music to remain vital, our culture must develop both highly-trained, professional musicians and informed, perceptive listeners. Accordingly, the College recognizes its responsibility to provide professional education to the student seeking a career in music, to provide opportunities for the general University student to study and experience music, and to share its musical life with the public.

Graduate Programs

The Esther Boyer College of Music offers graduate work leading to the following degrees:

Master of Music

Master of Music Therapy

Doctor of Musical Arts

Doctor of Philosophy

The programs are designed to provide opportunities for advanced study and research in music. Programs of graduate study are administered by the Director of Graduate Studies and the Associate Dean in conjunction with the Graduate Curriculum and Policy Committee, and other collegial committees, a portion of whose responsibilities relate to the graduate program.
