The MFA in Integrated Composition, Improvisation, and Technology (ICIT) merges the previously existing programs in Jazz Studies and in Composition and Technology. The ICIT program embraces all modern types of original music making: composer, performer, improviser, technologist, critical thinker, and experimenter, drawing on classical, jazz, experimental, and world music traditions. The program is taught by a core faculty whose work embraces diverse forms of music making, challenging conventional distinctions between classical composition, computer music, improvisation, and jazz. Students receive close personal attention from faculty, and are encouraged to work on interdisciplinary projects.
