Well, in the Good Old Days, there was an excellent program at Manhattanville College, in addition to CU, as well as one in Ohio (forgot where) and at least one on the West Coast (Marymount, I think...)
AND each Seminary had at least 2 years' work on the topic, largely practicum, not 'theoretical underpinnings.'
Now one has to wave a flag to make people understand that "sacred" music is NOT the same as "liturgical" music.
Yeeeeeeshhhh

And people will argue with you over that, too.
I don't know. I doubt much will change without a document specific and pointed with teeth. There needs to be a list of music out there that does NOT meet the criterea and the Vatican is going to have to audit various dioceses and publically state who is in error. It's moving toward that, but in church time.
