| Description | The Department of Music Ph.D. requires at least 18 credits beyond the M.A., including MUSIC 699 Directed Research. The student's particular selection of courses may exceed 18 credits and will be determined in consultation with the student's advisory committee. MUSIC 699 has as its goal the production of a potentially publishable, article-length paper; students who have completed a master's thesis may be exempted from this requirement if the student's advisory committee confirms that the thesis is acceptable as a substitute. The program culminates in the dissertation, a substantial work of original scholarship written after successful completion of candidacy examinations. Ph.D. students must demonstrate proficiency in two approved languages other than English before taking candidacy examinations. | | |
