Graduation Requirements
The successful completion of a foreign language examination or successful completion of a reading course in a foreign language is required for the M.A. degree in music.
Comprehensive examinations are required for both the M.A. and the M.S.L.I.S. degrees. The music comprehensive examination (MUS 698A w/classes; MUS 698B w/o classes) will include three hours in music history and one hour in analytical techniques. Degrees are awarded simultaneously upon completion of the requirements for both degrees.
A student can choose to withdraw from the M.A. program and still receive the M.S.L.I.S. degree; however, a student who withdraws from the M.S.L.I.S. program cannot continue in the M.A. and must reapply for the M.A. program in musicology if he/she wishes to complete the degree.
