Which schools should one consider for DMA (violin)?

Just adding to the list - we’ve known recent DMAs from
U Michigan
Juilliard
Rice
U Texas Austin
Stonybrook
Northwestern
U Wisconsin

All the students I’m thinking of had BM and MMs from major conservatories before the DMA school picks.

Other DMAs I’m aware of from a few more years back (8 - 10) include Peabody and Michigan State (I think that one came with a big stipend and official assistant teaching - state school possibilities might be worth exploring both for the $$ and experience)

I absolutely agree with @compmom’s assessment of degree inflation. DMAs in violin are becoming very common. Quite a change from the Dark Ages of my school experience.
