COURSE REQUIREMENTS FOR MUSICOLOGY MAJORS

A minimum of 60 credits of approved course work is required for a Ph.D. in Music. Courses will be credited toward the Ph.D. only if they are part of a program approved by the Executive Officer or his/her deputy.

For students concentrating in musicology, the first 30 credits should include the following seven courses: Bibliography and Research Techniques; one 70000-level proseminar in Theory/Analysis; two 70000-level proseminars in music history, one of which should be the proseminar in Medieval or Renaissance music, together with its corequisite “Performance Workshop” (both are required by the time the student completes 60 credits); two 80000-level seminars in music history.

For the Ph.D., the musicology student is required to take the remaining 70000-level proseminar of the Medieval/Renaissance pair, one course in Ethnomusicology, and five 80000-level research seminars.
