Directed by a core faculty of distinguished composers, including John Bischoff, Chris Brown, James Fei, Maggi Payne, and Technical Director Les Stuck, this program welcomes composers who are working in electronic music and recording media. The master of arts program in composition at Mills has trained generations of composers from all over the world in the American Experimentalist tradition. Composition students at Mills learn in a free-thinking environment that encourages creative work in a wide variety of styles. In addition to courses in orchestration, tonal and post-tonal analysis, and contemporary music criticism, they are encouraged to cross disciplinary boundaries and to pursue studies in special areas of interest that may include improvisation, indeterminacy, and environmental sound composition, as well as composing for dance and film. Our master of fine arts in music performance and literature offers students the opportunity to study a broad range of repertoires and techniques—from traditional solo and chamber music to recently composed works, from notated music to indeterminate scores. The program has two options: one dedicated to the performance of composed music and the other to improvisation. Students in both sections learn in a dynamic environment in which older traditions inform contemporary idioms and new music inspires re-evaluation of work from earlier periods.     Accreditation Information: Western Association of Schools and Colleges  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Admission to graduate or post-baccalaureate study at Mills College is contingent upon the possession of a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university.
