Admission on Probation
A student who does not have an undergraduate and graduate grade point average of 3.0 or better may be admitted on probation in exceptional cases. Probationary students must be enrolled full time during their first semester and must achieve a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 for that semester. Students who are admitted on probation and who incur academic probation during their first semester of study are subject to dismissal. See "Probation and Dismissal."

Time Limit for Acceptance
Students who do not matriculate within one year of acceptance must repeat entrance auditions and other admission requirements.

Visiting Students

A limited number of graduate-level students with interest in advanced work in music performance or academic study may be admitted as visiting students, subject to the following:

1. Visiting students at the graduate level must audition for a faculty committee, be accepted by a particular faculty member for instruction, and be approved by the Admissions and Recruitment Committee of the School of Music. Visiting students are not required to take proficiency examinations in music theory, music history and literature, or English. For the summer session, visiting students may be admitted only if they have been accepted by an individual faculty member. Visiting students who wish to continue study during the regular academic year must audition for a faculty committee.
2. Graduate visiting students must register for a minimum of 9 credit hours per semester (4 credit hours in the summer) including major ensemble courses.
3. Graduate visiting students may attend a maximum of two semesters during the academic year and four summer sessions.
4. Graduate visiting students are not eligible for financial aid from the School of Music during the fall and spring semesters.
5. Credits earned as a graduate visiting student may be applied toward a degree or diploma only with the permission of the director of graduate studies. Graduate visiting students wishing to change to degree or diploma status must complete the application process of the School of Music and Indiana University.

Proficiency Examinations

All new graduate degree students, including graduates of Indiana University, are required to take a number of examinations that serve as proficiency tests or prerequisites for entrance to certain graduate courses. These examinations include music history and literature, music theory, and keyboard proficiencies. Visiting students, as well as students in M.A. Arts Administration, M.S. degrees, and the diploma programs, are not subject to these proficiency examinations. Students whose major field is not music performance also take a music performance proficiency examination.

Music History and Literature Entrance Proficiency and Music Theory Entrance Proficiency
The music history and literature and music theory proficiencies may be satisfied in the following ways:

1. Students may take and pass the graduate entrance exams. Students must take the exams at the beginning of their first semester of enrollment; they may take them for a second time in their second semester. They may not take them again, nor may they take them after their second semester of enrollment. (Note that this includes summer sessions in which students are enrolled. Exams are ordinarily given in the week before classes begin each semester.)
2. Students may enroll in and pass the graduate review courses, as listed in the section below.

A grade of C or better is required in each examination. Students who do not achieve this level or who do not take the examinations may meet the proficiency requirements in one of two ways:

1. Complete, with a grade of C or better, the required proficiency course(s) T508 Written Music Theory Review for Graduate Students and T509 Sight-Singing Review for Graduate Students and, with a grade of D or better, T511 Aural Music Theory Review for Graduate Students (minimum grade of C for musicology majors, M.A.s, and Ph.D.s).
2. Retake the proficiency examination(s). Students who do not pass the retake examination(s) according to the schedule stated in item 2 in "Proficiency Examinations" must take T508 Written Music Theory Review for Graduate Students, T509 Sight-Singing Review for Graduate Students, and/or T511 Aural Music Theory Review for Graduate Students.

Music History and Literature
This examination covers music history and literature from antiquity to the present. Questions deal with historical fact, identification of literature, and style recognition. Students who fail to meet minimum requirements (a grade of C or better) on the examination are required to enroll in M541 Music History Review for Graduate Students I and/or M542 Music History Review for Graduate Students II and make a grade of C or better in the course.

Keyboard Proficiency Examination
All music graduate students (except M.S. candidates) must pass a keyboard proficiency examination, including those whose principal or proficiency instrument is piano. Most students will take the examination on piano. Early music majors may take the examination on the harpsichord or lute, guitar majors on the guitar, organ majors on the organ, and harp majors on the harp. Musicology students take a departmentally administered exam.

The keyboard proficiency examination is designed to ensure the student's ability to use the keyboard as a tool within the framework of professional activities, and the requirements vary according to level and area of music study. The examination is normally offered in the latter part of each semester or in summer session II. Entering students who are prepared to do so may take the exam during the orientation period. For details, see the secondary piano coordinator or the departmental chairpersons (for early music, guitar, organ, musicology, and harp).

When keyboard proficiency requirements are identical for two degrees, a student seeking both degrees need not repeat the keyboard proficiency examination if it has been passed for one of the degrees. Students who fail the keyboard proficiency examination may register, with the advice of the secondary piano coordinator or the chairperson, for appropriate courses to assist in developing the required skills.

Students who are candidates for music graduate degrees for areas other than performance and whose performance proficiency instrument (see "Music Performance Proficiency" below) is piano must also complete the keyboard proficiency requirement.

Music Performance Proficiency
All candidates for music graduate degrees in areas other than music performance (composition, conducting, jazz studies, and Ph.D. and D.M.E. programs) are required to demonstrate in person to a faculty auditioning committee a minimum level of music performance ability equivalent to the end of the fourth year for concentration students in that area. A faculty member in the student's major area shall be a voting member of the examination committee. Students should consult the appropriate department chair for detailed information on the required level.

The performance area must ordinarily be one in which instruction is offered on the 400 level in the School of Music. With the support of the departmental chair of their major area, students may petition the director of graduate studies to be allowed to demonstrate this proficiency in another performance area. If the petition is approved, the director of graduate studies will appoint an examination committee of three members of the School of Music faculty qualified to judge the student's performance, including at least one member of a performance department and one member of the student's major area.

In all cases, failure to meet the required level will automatically indicate probationary status and will require additional music performance study or other remediation in each period of enrollment as a prerequisite to the desired degree.

   Courses used to satisfy cognate requirements must be taught by regularly appointed faculty members. Courses taught by associate instructors will not count. The student must meet the qualifications of the parallel minor, and only courses that would fulfill the requirements for a minor are acceptable. The cognate field may become a minor if at least 12 credit hours are taken in that field.
4. Ensemble Each semester
5. Tool Subjects (if required)
6. Comprehensive Review Before graduation, all master's degree students must pass an oral or written examination. It is the responsibility of the student to consult with the major field department to ascertain the procedures established within that department. This consultation should be accomplished within the first year of residency.

Credit Hour Requirements

The minimum requirement for a master's degree is 30 credit hours excluding required credit hours in prerequisite or review courses and major ensemble. Individual degrees may require more credit hours. Courses counted for credit toward the master's degree are numbered 500 or above. Upon approval of the director of graduate studies and the department that offers equivalent courses in the School of Music, master's students may transfer course work taken for graduate credit at other institutions. M.M., M.M.E., and M.S. students may transfer up to 6 credit hours; M.A. and M.A.T. students may transfer up to 8 credit hours. No course may be transferred unless the grade is B or higher. Applied lessons, chamber music, ensemble, and similar courses may not be transferred for degree credit nor may transfer courses satisfy entrance proficiencies in music history and literature and music theory.

Return to General Master's Degree Requirements

Residence Requirement

The minimum requirement for a master's degree is two semesters or four summer sessions in residence. With permission of the director of graduate studies, a student may count toward the residence requirement up to 6 credit hours of graduate work completed at any regional campus of Indiana University.

General Requirements for Doctoral Degrees

The Graduate Division of the School of Music offers course work leading to the degree of Doctor of Music in the areas of music literature and performance, music literature and pedagogy (brass instruments only), composition, and conducting. Available major fields within these areas are listed under departmental headings in the "Curricula for Graduate Degrees in Music" section. The School of Music also offers the Doctor of Music Education degree and, through the University Graduate School, the Doctor of Philosophy degree in the areas of musicology, music education, and music theory.

The Doctor of Music degree represents outstanding accomplishment in music performance and academic studies. The holder of this degree should demonstrate not only a high level of performance competency in his or her instrumental area or in voice, but also a broad knowledge of the pertinent instrumental or vocal repertoire, the ability to undertake independent research, and the ability to communicate his or her understanding effectively in written and oral forms.

The Doctor of Music Education degree calls for a scholarly study of music teaching. In addition to providing for an understanding of the principles underlying successful teaching and the techniques necessary for systematic inquiry into those processes, the degree requires an emphasis in an area of music education: band conducting and literature, choral methodology, college music teaching, or supervision and administration. The area of emphasis must be different from that of the master's degree.

A Doctor of Philosophy degree represents breadth of experience and training in the arts and sciences and is recommended for those planning to enter a field involving research or scholarly writing as well as college teaching in musicology, music theory, or music education. The dissertation required for the Ph.D. degree must be original research of a quality and a significance warranting publication.

Admission to Curriculum

Prerequisites
A master's degree with the same major or its demonstrated equivalent is a prerequisite for the doctoral degree. For a doctoral major not existing at the master's level, the prerequisites are those listed with the curriculum. Students electing a change of major at the doctoral level may demonstrate the equivalent of the prerequisite for the new major by special examinations or by passing prerequisite courses. In the event that a student wishes to bypass the master's degree, the first 30 credit hours of graduate work will be considered the equivalent of the master's degree and will be subject to the requirements and regulations that apply to the master's degree.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Credit and Residence

The doctoral degree may be conferred upon completion of at least 90 credit hours of advanced study (including the master's degree). At least 30 credit hours beyond the master's degree must be completed at Indiana University, with at least two consecutive semesters in residence. Up to 30 credit hours may be transferred from accredited institutions. Each course to be transferred must be equivalent to a course offered at Indiana University. Transfer for the D.M. and D.M.E. degrees is approved by the director of graduate studies and the department in which the equivalent course is offered. Departmental practices vary: an interview or examination may be required. Performance lessons, chamber music coaching, ensemble, and review courses may not be transferred.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Required Grades

Major
Each course in the major field must have a grade of B or better to fulfill degree requirements.

Minor
Each course in a minor field must have a grade of C or better to fulfill degree requirements. In addition, courses counting toward a minor field must have an average of B. For purposes of computing the required B average in the minor fields, only those courses accepted in fulfillment of the degree will be counted. Departments offering the minor may require a higher grade for their minor fields.

Tool Subjects and Guided Electives
Each course must have a grade of C or better to fulfill degree requirements.

Language Proficiencies
Each grammar or graduate reading course must have a grade of C or better to fulfill degree requirements. For Ph.D. students, the grade must be B or better.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Advisory Committee

After a student is admitted to a degree program, a faculty advisory committee is appointed by the director of graduate studies based on a list submitted by the student. This committee administers the qualifying examinations and approves and grades any required recitals or music performances.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Research Committee

The research committee for D.M. and D.M.E. candidates is appointed by the director of graduate studies based on a list submitted by the student. The committee consists of three members from the major field, one of whom acts as chairperson, and one member from a minor or other outside field. The research director is normally either the chairperson or the outside member, depending on the nature of the topic and the expertise required. The research committee approves the topic proposal, approves the dissertation or document for defense, conducts the defense and final examination, and approves and grades the dissertation or document.

The research committee for Ph.D. dissertations is appointed by the dean of the University Graduate School. See the University Graduate School Bulletin for further information on the appointment and constitution of the committee.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Structure of Doctoral Curricula

Information regarding the structure of the Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Music Education degrees is available under the relevant departmental sections of this bulletin. All Doctor of Music degrees, however, share a commonality as set forth below. Specific requirements relating to each category listed below may be found under departmental listings. Further details of general requirements for the degree may be found in the "Regulations and Procedures" section of this bulletin.

1. Major Field 34-39 credit hours.
2. Minor Field The Doctor of Music degree requires a minor in music history and literature, music theory, or music education. Certain departments may further restrict the choice of options for the minor field for their majors. For D.M. students who have completed master's degrees in one of these three fields, the appropriate department may, with the approval of the director of graduate studies, waive part or all of the doctoral minor course work and determine an appropriate department involvement in the written and oral qualifying examinations. Students will take additional courses in the major field or in other areas to make up the required 12 credit hours of the first minor.
3. Other Required Credits If the major is in music performance, neither minor may be in music performance. 12 credit hours reflecting one of the following groupings are required in addition to the major and specified minor:
   1. A second formal minor;
   2. An individualized minor approved by a faculty member with expertise in the area of emphasis (this faculty member is responsible for the minor-field written examination) and the director of graduate studies;
      or
   3. Guided electives not in the major field; choices are approved by the chairperson of the student's advisory committee and the director of graduate studies.
   If a student has a master's degree in a field other than musicology, music education or music theory, the appropriate department may, with the approval of the director of graduate studies, waive part or all of the doctoral minor course work for the second minor and determine an appropriate departmental involvement in the written and oral qualifying examinations. If the major is in music performance, this substitute for a second minor may not be performance. Students will take additional courses in the major field or in other areas to make up the required 12 credit hours of the second minor.
4. Language Proficiencies or Tool Subjects
5. Recital Requirements
6. Qualifying Examinations
7. Written Project (Document, Essay, Lecture/Recital or Composition)

Ph.D. Minors for Students outside the School of Music

Minors in music for doctoral students outside the School of Music may be taken within one of the established departments of the School of Music. No general entrance examinations are required, but the director of graduate studies may require entering proficiency examinations. Acceptance as a minor, prerequisites, and minimum requirements are established by the director of graduate studies. No transfer credits will be accepted toward a music minor.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Language Proficiencies or Tool Subjects

Candidates for doctoral degrees who expect to do research in specialized fields or who must have specialized techniques beyond those normally required of master's degree students must possess or acquire such techniques in addition to the regular course requirements. Specific recommendations are made for each candidate on the basis of the degree choice and results of the entering proficiency examinations; the candidate has an opportunity to pass examinations in the specified areas or to take prescribed courses. The level of language proficiency required for Ph.D. candidates is determined by the individual departments and the director of graduate studies.

Candidates for the D.M. degree have language or tool subject requirements according to the nature of their degree plans. Majors in voice, opera conducting, or choral conducting must meet the language proficiency requirement for the master's degree in voice.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Recital Requirements

The following apply to all D.M. curricula (see also specific major field requirements):

1. When a doctoral student has received a grade below a B on one of the required recitals, the student may not play the same program again in fulfillment of that recital requirement nor use any of the selections from the unsatisfactory recital on any other required recital.
2. A student who receives a grade lower than a B on any two successive required recitals (including repetition of the same recital requirement) may no longer pursue the D.M. degree in that major.
3. The last of the required recitals is the final recital, which is to be scheduled upon the recommendation of the student's advisory committee chairperson after the qualifying examination is passed and before the defense of the document is scheduled. The final public performance for choral conducting majors, composition majors (K701), and voice majors (lecture/recital) may be done before the qualifying examinations. Voice majors are required to take at least two recitals before the qualifying examinations.
4. Recital policies can be obtained from the Recital Scheduling Office.

Public Performances

A student whose curriculum requires a public performance as a conductor or composer must make the preliminary arrangements with the committee chairperson and must secure the approval of the advisory committee before the event takes place. The major field representatives of the advisory committee shall attend the performance, or a dress rehearsal of the performance, and by ballot filed with the director of graduate studies shall determine (1) acceptance or rejection of the performance or dress rehearsal of the performance (by majority vote) and (2) a letter grade (by committee average). When a performance or rehearsal is rejected, the course of action is determined by the director of graduate studies and the student's advisory committee.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Qualifying Examinations

Applicants for a doctoral degree are not considered candidates for the degree until they have passed the qualifying examinations and have been recommended by their advisory committee to the dean of the University Graduate School or the dean of the School of Music.

Preliminary Requirements
Before the qualifying examinations are scheduled, doctoral students must have been admitted to the curriculum and have met the following preliminary requirements:

1. They must have satisfied all prerequisites, proficiencies, and tool subject requirements.
2. They must have completed all course work for the major field (except recitals, performances, and dissertation, document, or essay) in order to write the major field examination. For minors within the School of Music, they must have completed all course work in the minor field before writing the examination for that minor.
3. Students pursuing the Ph.D. in music theory or the D.M. must have their dissertation or document topic approved before taking the oral qualifying examination. Students pursuing the D.M.E. or the Ph.D. in music education must have their dissertation or document topic approved before the major field written examination may be scheduled. Students pursuing the Ph.D. in musicology may have their dissertation topic approved before or after the qualifying examinations.

Musical Styles
Students are given a written examination in which they are asked to identify and describe representative musical styles on the basis of an analysis of aural and visual examples. The musical styles examination must be taken prior to the oral qualifying examination. The styles examination may be taken not more than twice. Additional information may be obtained from the Music Graduate Office.

Written Examinations
Students must take written examinations in the major and minor fields. (Minors outside the School of Music may not require a written examination.) These examinations are prepared by the advisory committee member(s) representing the major or minor field and may be based on the content of courses taken in each field or on the background and concepts pertinent to the area. At the discretion of the minor field representative (as guided by appropriate department policy), students having music performance as a minor may substitute a 30-minute performance examination by a faculty jury or a graded recital for the written examination.

Oral Examination
The major field oral qualifying examination for D.M. students has as its aim the assessment of the student's knowledge of the major area (performance or composition), especially focused on the literature included in a repertoire list approved by the student's advisory committee. This examination may include assessment of the student's ability to articulate an understanding of the formal/analytical characteristics of the music, its historical development and social context, and features related to its teaching and learning. The student's knowledge is evaluated by the student's advisory committee. A majority vote of the committee determines the outcome of the major field examinations. Minor field oral examinations, if required, take place at the same time but are evaluated separately. A failed examination may be retaken once. The committee will prescribe the scope of questioning of the reexamination. Oral qualifying examinations may not be scheduled during the summer sessions.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Registration after Admission to Candidacy

After admission to candidacy, candidates must enroll each semester for course work, dissertation or document credit, or G901 Advanced Research. Failure to meet this requirement automatically terminates candidacy. Students whose candidacy lapses are required to reapply for admission to candidacy and are expected to meet current requirements for the degree. Candidates who will graduate in August must enroll in the preceding summer session.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Dissertation and Document

Instructions for the development of a topic proposal may be obtained from the Music Graduate Office. The same office manages the scheduling of the dissertation or document defense. Students desiring to undertake the defense during a summer session must apply to the director of graduate studies before May 1.

A Ph.D. student must be a candidate for the degree in order to defend a dissertation. The defense of the dissertation or document is oral and is normally based upon the dissertation or document, although it may also touch upon the major field literature or any field of general music interest that the committee deems pertinent.

Return to General Doctoral Degree Requirements

Time Limits

Before Qualifying Examinations
Students must complete all course work for a D.M. degree (including those courses transferred from other schools, but not including those on the master's degree) and begin qualifying examinations within a period of seven calendar years from the date of matriculation in the doctoral program. Students who do not complete their doctoral work within the prescribed time limit must be readmitted to the major field (through interview, submission of documents, or audition, as appropriate to the major), meet current requirements, and make any other curricular changes required by the director of graduate studies and the major field department. If a student is readmitted to the major, the term of readmission is three years. If the student has not completed course work by that time, he or she must once again meet the terms for readmission described above. In addition, any doctoral courses taken more than ten calendar years earlier must be revalidated according to the procedures of the department offering the course.

Ph.D. and D.M.E. Time Limits
Ph.D. and D.M.E. students have 10 calendar years, including the master's degree. Ph.D. students must receive permission to revalidate courses from the director of graduate studies and from the dean of the University Graduate School. D.M.E. students must receive permission to revalidate courses from the director of graduate studies.

Qualifying Examinations
All qualifying examinations, written and oral, must be completed within one calendar year.

After Qualifying Examinations
Students must complete the doctoral degree within seven years after passing the qualifying examinations. After that time, students must be reinstated to candidacy. To be reinstated to candidacy for the D.M. degree, students must (1) obtain the permission of the department chairperson and the director of graduate studies, (2) fulfill any new departmental requirements in effect at the time of the application for reinstatement, (3) pass a written qualifying examination, content and duration of which will be agreed upon by the student's examination committee and the director of graduate studies. If reinstatement is granted, it is valid for a period of three years. Revalidation of course work is not required.

Ph.D. Time Limits
Ph.D. students follow the reinstatement procedure outlined in the bulletin of the University Graduate School.

Interruption of Study
Doctoral students who, prior to completion of the qualifying examinations, have interrupted their degree pursuits for a period of five years or more must meet current requirements for the degree, and make any other curricular changes required by the major field advisor and the director of graduate studies.

These time limits are suspended for students in active military service for the duration of that active service.

Diploma Programs in Performance

The Performer Diploma and Artist Diploma programs are intended for the outstanding performer. They are designed to concentrate study in appropriate repertoire. Students in the diploma programs have a maximum of four semesters of enrollment within five years from the date of first enrollment. Additional semesters of enrollment within the five-year time limit are possible only through recommendation by the student's performance instructor and approval by the director of graduate studies. No exceptions to the five-year time limit will be considered. Performer Diploma students may seek entrance to the Artist Diploma program.
