Since the
publication of the 2001-2003 School of Music Bulletin, the School of
Music Council has approved several changes to the curriculum. The most important
of these (along with corrections of some misprints) are listed here.
Please note that
these changes apply to students entering in semesters after the changes
were approved, in most cases meaning students entering in the summer and fall of
2002 or later. Students who entered before that date may petition to have the
new requirements apply to their degrees; ordinarily this means switching to all
the requirements of the most recent Bulletin.
Please contact the
Music Graduate Office if you have questions.
Performance
proficiency (for students entering in fall, 2002 and after)
All candidates for music graduate degrees in areas other than music
performance (composition, conducting, jazz studies, music education, musicology
and music theory) 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 undergraduate 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.
Proficiency may be demonstrated in any of three ways: (1) in person before a
faculty auditioning committee, one voting member of which shall be a faculty
member in the student's major area; (2) by completion of performance study as a
graduate cognate or minor; or (3) by two semesters of performance study as a
graduate elective. The grade in each semester of performance study must be B or
better.
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.
Styles requirement
(for students entering fall, 2002 and after)
All doctoral students must demonstrate their ability to deal analytically and
stylistically with a broad range of musical compositions by taking the Doctoral
Styles Examination.
Students must take the exam in their first fall semester of enrollment. This
will be their only opportunity. Students who pass the exam meet the requirement.
Students who do not pass the exam must earn a grade of B or better in T545
Analysis of Music Literature. This course may fall anywhere in the student's
curriculum. T545 taken previously at Indiana University and passed with a grade
of B or better will be accepted in lieu of the exam; transfer credits will not
be accepted. This requirement must be completed before a student may begin
qualifying examinations.
Musicology Ph.D. (for
students entering fall, 2002 and after)
Admission Applicants for the Ph.D. in musicology must demonstrate strong
preparation in music history. Students with outstanding credentials may apply
directly from a bachelor's degree; students holding an M.A. or M.M. in
musicology may be exempted from certain courses on the recommendation of the
department. A formal research paper must be submitted with the application. The
applicant's scores on GRE General Test must be received from the Educational
Testing Service in Princeton, New Jersey, by January 15, the application
deadline.
Major Forty-five (45) credits including M551 Introduction to Historical
Musicology (3 cr.), M602 Seminar in Musicology (3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 cr.), M603
Methods of Musical Scholarship (3-3 cr.); 12 credit hours of courses in
musicology, music theory, ethnomusicology or other musical subjects approved by
the student's Doctoral Advisory Committee.

Dissertation M700 Dissertation in Musicology (3-33 cr.)
Tool Subjects M539 and two languages, the first of which must be German,
French, Italian, Latin, Spanish, or Russian, the second of which should be
relevant to the student's research area.
Proficiency examination Examinations in music theory, music history,
keyboard skills, music performance and musical styles.
General examination Written examination, to be taken ordinarily in the
spring semester of the second year, usually by March 15.
Qualifying examination Written and oral examination focusing on areas
chosen by the candidate in consultation with his or her Advisory Committee.
Progress toward Degree
Deficiencies in music history or music theory, as determined by the graduate
entrance examinations, must be met by the end of the first year. One language
examination must be passed by the end of the first year, a second before the
qualifying examination. The general examination must ordinarily be taken by the
spring of the second year. The qualifying examination should ordinarily be taken
in the fall of the fourth year. A dissertation proposal should ordinarily be
submitted during the fourth year. Exceptions to this general schedule require
the permission of the department.
Musicology, M.A. (for students entering fall,
2002, and after)
Major Eighteen (18)
credits including M551 Introduction to Historical Musicology (3 cr.), M602
Seminar in Musicology (3-3-3 cr.), and 6 credits of Musicology/Music theory
electives to be selected from appropriate courses and/or seminars in musicology
or music theory approved by the student's academic advisor.
All other requirements are as
listed in the School of Music Bulletin.
