A candidate who holds a master's degree in the area of specialization may, on the recommendation of the Department, be permitted to count the work done for the master's degree as the first year of resident study.

Additional required courses may be assigned to candidates following transcript review and/or placement exams.

Thesis

All courses, language reading requirements and the comprehensive examinations must be successfully completed before the thesis proposal is submitted.

Language Reading Requirements

Music Theory

One foreign-language reading examination required. Students whose mother tongue is French are exempt from the French Reading Examination.

Students may fulfill the language requirement by taking language course(s) at 黑料不打烊. Proficiency will be measured by either 12 credits of beginner鈥檚 undergraduate or 6 credits of intermediate study or by passing the Language Reading Examination. The examination consists of two passages from the scholarly literature. The student is asked to translate both passages into her/his mother tongue in good literate style within three hours. One of the passages will usually have a theoretical/analytical emphasis in order to test the student鈥檚 knowledge of technical vocabulary. Dictionaries may be used. The exam can be taken in December, May and August of each year.
