About The Schulich School of Music
For each of the last 15 years, the Schulich School has helped McGill rank among the top 15 universities worldwide for Arts and Humanities, placing ahead of many illustrious institutions. Other schools focus on either performance or research while Schulich excels at both, and when game-changing research meets world-class performance, the results become a powerful reminder of why we do music.
