Overview
Among the requirements for admission to the Departments of Music is the submission of an original research paper on any musical topic. The paper should demonstrate facility with scholarly sources, the ability to formulate an original argument, and strong writing skills. In addition, students will be required to take a Music Theory Placement Examination and to make up any deficiencies so identified by taking one or more graduate review courses before being admitted to graduate courses in music theory.
Degree requirements
All entering students must also take a Music History Placement Examination and make up any deficiencies with a graduate music history review course before being admitted to most graduate courses in music history.
