Graduate Studies in Music
The Department of Music offers four concentrations of study for graduate music students on the M.M. degree: Conducting (Choral or Wind), Music Comparative Studies, Music Education, and Music Performance. The number of hours for each concentration totals 34 credits. An outline of curricular requirements includes:
Review Courses (0 credits)
- Certain review courses may be required on the basis of a student's score on the Graduate Music Placement Examinations. While credit in such courses counts as a part of the load during the semester/term in which they are taken, the credit does not count toward requirements of the degree. Review courses include MUS 600 (1 credit), MUS 601 (2 credits), MUS 602 (2 credits), and MUS 606 (1 credit).
Research Course (3 credits)
- MUS 609 Research in Music (3 credits) counts as the research course on all concentrations.
