Assistantships in Musicology
Assistantships are available both through the College of Music and the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities (CIS-AH), the administrative unit at MSU that handles several of the required courses for undergraduates on campus. Musicology professors regularly contribute courses to CIS-AH and often hire musicology graduate students to serve as teaching assistants.
