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 six courses:  Introduction to Musicology (Music 70000);  a 70000-level proseminar in theory/analysis; a 70000-level proseminar in either 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.
