1960년 UCLA Ethnomusicologist Mantle Hood에 의해 설립된 Institute of Ethnomusicology에서 유래, Charles Seeger와 그 아들 Anthony Seeger, J. H. Kwabena Niketia 등의 유명한 학자들에 의해 발전한 Ethnomusicology 학과는 2007년 Music, Musicology와 함께 UCLA 음대를 이루는 3개 학부로 발전했다. 현재 world music, popular music, jazz, 그리고 classical music 분야에서 지구촌 음악의 다양성에 대한 공연과 연구에 전념한다.

The statement of purpose must be written by the applicant himself or herself for the purpose of giving the department relevant information on the applicant's background, qualifications, interests, and reasons for undertaking graduate study in this field.

If possible, applicants should include the issues, interests, and areas of study they hope to pursue if admitted to the program. The statement is expected to be informative genuine, and clearly written.

 

The three letters of recommendation should be written by those who have known the applicant well, have observed his/her recent work and achievements, and are able to speak of his/her intellectual and research ability, promise, and potential as a student.

The required sample work, or works, will enable the faculty to assess the applicant's research abilities.
