<p>What universities have graduate school programs (Master’s) that are strong in music composition?? I’m specifically looking at Southern California…</p>
<p>Yale University is a great school, and possibly the best in my opinion. Though I may be slightly biased. I am starting my first year masters in the music department. You should look into Standford University. The have an incredible music department. They offer a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) in computer-based music theory and acoustics and a Master of Arts degree (M.A.) in composition. They have the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA), and it is one of the top-rated facilities for digital sound research in the world. </p>
<p>Good luck with finding the right program!!</p>
