Curricula for Music-Related Graduate Degrees
Master of Arts and Master of Library Science; Master of Music and Master of Library Science
This program permits the student to coordinate a degree in music theory or music history and literature with a Master of Library Science. Specialized training in music library science is provided by the professional librarians of the Jacobs School of Music. Students who already have a master’s degree in music or who do not desire a master’s in music from Indiana University may wish to contact the Admissions Office of the Department of Information and Library Science (http://ils.indiana.edu/admissions/) for information concerning the Music Librarianship Specialization within the Master of Library Science degree only.
Admission Requirements
Bachelor of Music or its demonstrated equivalent. Students must apply for admission simultaneously to the Jacobs School of Music for the MM or MA and the Department of Information and Library Science for the MLS. For additional information, see "Admission Requirements" in the Graduate Division section of this bulletin.
Course Requirements
The student must satisfy all the requirements for a Master of Arts degree in musicology or a Master of Music degree in music theory (listed in this bulletin) and for a Master of Library Science degree (listed in the bulletin of the School of Informatics and Computing at http://bulletins.iu.edu/iub/soic/2016-2017/index.shtml).
