<p>Theorygeek has given you great advice.
I do want to correct a slight misrepresentation I made – for undergraduate theory majoring, if you haven’t had college level theory already, you cannot technically declare/apply for theory as your BMus major at University of Michigan SOM – meaning you access the degree while pursuing a BMus or comp degree, or that you’ve already had advanced theory experience and proficiency on keyboard. On the graduate level, for the phd in composition and theory you also have to have proficiency in two additional languages.
If you want more information about the undergrad and graduate degrees there, here’s a link: [UM</a> School of Music, Theatre & Dance - Department of Music Theory - Degree Programs](<a href=“http://www.music.umich.edu/departments/mustheory/bm.htm]UM”>http://www.music.umich.edu/departments/mustheory/bm.htm)</p>
