School of Music, Theatre & Dance Student Handbook for UY 1999-2000

Academic Policies and Procedures

Academic Progress

Undergraduate Students. See the policy on progress toward a degree in the Academic Regulations for Undergraduate Students section of this handbook.

Students are expected to elect courses consistent with the curriculum of their declared major, and to make continuous and satisfactory progress toward the completion of that degree. The completion of degree requirements is the student's responsibility.

Advising

Developing self-reliance and the ability to make choices, as well as to appraise one's own performance and intellectual growth, are important parts of a student's education. Likewise, the responsibility for earning a degree rests with the student. Nonetheless, to assist in making educated decisions, advisers are provided in all fields of study within the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. The adviser can be key in learning what resources are available and how to make the most of them. The more an adviser knows about a student and her/his goals, the more useful the counseling will be. Advisers can interpret degree requirements and school policies and procedures, describe appropriate course options for a student's interests and aspirations, help a student plan strategies, and handle any academic difficulty a student might encounter. The adviser should be consulted at least twice each semester, preferably at the beginning, and again approximately halfway through the term (during the early registration period). As with any resource, consulting an adviser early can be extremely helpful in remedying any problem a student may experience. There are usually more options available to correct or improve a situation the earlier it is addressed.

Application for Graduation

Students wishing to graduate must complete both sides of the blue Degree/Diploma Application card within the first four weeks of the term of expected graduation and return it to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Recorder, room 2290 Moore. This form indicates that a student believes all requirements for his/her degree are, or are about to be met. A student will not be considered for graduation without this request.

Consult the relevant academic regulation section in this handbook to determine which degree requirements have been met and which still need to be completed.

Attendance and Absences

Undergraduate Students. See the policy on absences in the Academic Regulations for Undergraduate Students section in this handbook.

Regular and punctual attendance at classes, lessons, and rehearsals is one of a number of expressions of interest, maturity, and devotion to recognized standards of conduct that contribute to the dignity of the profession. The reasons for good attendance should be obvious, and students may expect unexcused absences to be reflected in their final grade.

Students should account for their absences to their instructors and their adviser when appro-

priate. Students who have been absent from one or more classes for an extended period of
time should consult with their instructor(s) about the wisdom of continuing with the course.

Changing or Adding a Field or Degree Program

Students who wish to change the field or degree they are pursuing, or who would like to add a second field or degree within music, should complete the Field/Degree Change form and have it approved by the appropriate departments. Return the completed form to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Recorder, Room 2290 Moore. PLEASE NOTE: In some cases an audition is

required before a student can change degree programs.

Course Waiver or Substitution Request

Undergraduate Students. See the policy on course substitution or waiver in the Academic Regulations for Undergraduate Students section in this handbook.

Students who wish to substitute one course for another required course, or who wish to waive a required course, must complete a Request for Course Waiver or Substitution form. The completed form is to be approved by the appropriate academic adviser and department chair, and then returned to either the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs or the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in Room 2277 Moore. Final action will be taken by the Council of Departmental Representatives or the Faculty Council on Graduate Studies and notification will be sent to the student once action has been completed. No credit is given for a course that is waived. Requests for waiver of major ensembles by new, transfer and continuing students must be filed no later than the last -Day of the registration period for the term for which the waiver is being sought.

Disenrolling From Courses

Disenrollment refers to canceling an early registration before the first -Day of regular registration for that term.

A student who withdraws or drops a course after the deadline for withdrawing or dropping will be liable for tuition. This applies also to courses for which the student "early registered" during the preceding term and failed to disenroll even though she/he may never have attended classes.

Double Enrollment

An undergraduate with six or fewer hours remaining to complete a bachelor's degree in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance may apply for admission to a master's program for the term in which the bachelor's degree is expected. If admitted, the student may enroll for undergraduate and graduate courses and receive graduate credit for course work beyond the undergraduate

degree requirements. Admission to the master's program, if approved, is contingent upon receipt of the bachelor's degree. A double-enrolled student is subject to graduate fees for all courses elected. Double enrollment may not be continued beyond one term.

A student with six or fewer hours remaining to complete the master's degree may apply for admission to the Specialist in Music program for the term in which the master's degree is expected. Admission to the specialist program if approved, is contingent upon receipt of the master's degree. A double-enrolled student will be considered to be enrolled in both programs. Double enrollment may not be continued beyond one term.

Examinations/Juries

Class material may be examined at any time, with or without notice, on any part of the coursework. The majority of classes will have final examinations at the end of the term. The schedule of final examinations is fixed by the University, and is printed in the current semester's Time Schedule. A student should record the dates and times of exams at the beginning of the semester. No travel plans should conflict with these dates.

Juries are final examinations in performance courses. Students enrolled in performance courses numbered 100, 139, 240, 440, 539, and 639 are required to present a formal jury during the final examination period. Students enrolled in other course numbers may be required to present an informal jury in any semester, at the discretion of the instructor. Accompanists are required for formal juries.

General Standards for School of Music, Theatre & Dance Students

The University of Michigan is committed to the basic principle of entrusting each student with a high degree of freedom to govern the life and conduct of the student while enrolled at the University. The School of Music, Theatre & Dance encourages its students to protect and utilize this

freedom with wisdom and good judgment, and to accept and discharge the responsibility

inherent to such freedom.

A student is expected to develop her/his relationships with integrity; to respect the rights and properties of others; to comply with University regulations and public laws; and to live with high standards of personal and social conduct.

The School of Music, Theatre & Dance Code of Academic Conduct

Approved by the Governing Faculty, April 26, 1990

Honesty, fairness, and trust are fundamental values upon which the University is founded. The academic conduct of students enrolled in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance is governed by the rules and policies of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. Each member of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance should realize

that deception for the purposes of individual gain or convenience is an offense against

the other members of the School and the University. Such dishonesty includes, but is not limited to:

Plagiarism: Submitting the work of another person as one's own; stealing the ideas, data, or written work of others; copying the work of others without proper acknowledgment; or

otherwise taking credit falsely.

Cheating: Using unauthorized notes, or study aids, or information from another student or from another student's paper on an examination, including cheating by electronic means on a computer-administered examination; altering a graded work after it has been returned and submitting the work for re-grading; allowing another person to do one's work and submitting the work as one's own; or submitting one's own work previously submitted for another course without fully revealing the circumstances to the instructor.
Aiding and Abetting Dishonesty: Providing material or information to another person with knowledge that these materials or information will be used improperly.

Dishonesty in Reporting the Results of Research: Misrepresenting data or information or reporting false or misleading data or information including, for example, fabrication of data,

improper adjustment of results, selective reporting for purposes of deception, omission of conflicting data for purposes of deception, or presenting data not gathered in accordance with appropriate methods for collecting or analyzing data and failing to include a substantially accurate account of the method by which the data were gathered or analyzed.

Falsification of Records and Official Documents: Altering documents affecting academic records; providing false information with intent to undermine the orderly functioning of the School of Music or the University; forging signatures or falsifying information on an official academic document, election form, drop/add form, late drop form, grade report, transcript, letter of permission, petition, or any document designed to meet or exempt a student from a regulation or procedure of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance or the University, including making alterations after a document is signed.

Unauthorized or Malicious Interference or Tampering with Computer Property: Stealing, destroying, or tampering with the computer software, files, or data of others for purposes of academic gain or convenience.

When a complainant believes that academic dishonesty may have taken place, he or she should present the evidence to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs or the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies. The Dean will arrange for a hearing by a Hearing Board to determine:

(1) Whether the evidence is admissible. In the event that it is not, the case shall be dismissed. If the evidence is admissible, the Hearing Board must determine:

(2) Whether the evidence is sufficient. In the event that it is not, the case shall be dismissed. If the evidence is sufficient the defendant is adjudged guilty of the infraction and the Hearing Board must take such action as is appropriate.

The Code of Academic Conduct of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance provides penalties for plagiarism, cheating, aiding and abetting dishonesty, dishonesty in reporting the results of research, falsification of records and official documents, and unauthorized or malicious interference or tampering with computer property. Copies of the Manual of Procedures for Dealing with Infractions of the Code of Academic Conduct for the School of Music, Theatre & Dance are available in the office of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies.

Non-Academic Conduct

Students at the University of Michigan expect members of their community to be responsible for their actions and to respect the rights of others. These expectations are not meant to limit students' constitutional right to freedom of expression. The non-academic conduct of students enrolled in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance is governed by the rules and policies of the University, which are published in full in the Insider's Guide and Rounding Out A2 of the University of Michigan. Additional copies are available at the Campus Information Center on the main-floor lobby of the Pierpont Commons on North Campus.

Conflict Resolution

The Office of Student Conflict Resolution (OSCR) is responsible for administering the University's Code of Student Conduct. The Code sets forth the values of our University Community, establishes the types of behaviors which violate those values, and establishes a process for resolving allegations of misconduct. The Resolution Coordinator reviews and investigates alleged student misconduct and provides support to alleged violators as well as persons submitting complaints. The Resolution Coordinator also educates the University community about the standards set forth in the Code. The involvement of any student in the

resolution process is confidential. For further information please contact the office Monday-Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Grades and Scholastic Standing

An Academic Report is the cumulative record of courses elected, grades, averages, and other matters relating to the progress of the student. It is maintained by the Office of the Registrar. An individual may obtain an official copy of his/her academic record by placing an order at the General Information windows in the lobby of the LSA Building or at the Entreé Office in the Pierpont Commons on North Campus; the School of Music, Theatre & Dance cannot provide a student with an official Academic Report. Identification is required at the time of order. An un-official copy of the Academic Report may be obtained on-line through Wolverine Access (http://waccess.umich.edu), or at the General Information windows of the LSA Building or the Entree Office. Call 734/764-8280 for further information about placing an order.

School of Music, Theatre & Dance grades range from "A+" through "E," and carry honor points. Grades of "S" (satisfactory), "U" (unsatisfactory), "I" (incomplete), "VI" (official audit), "P" (pass), and "F" (fail) are also used; these marks do not carry honor points.

The decision to elect a course under the pass-fail option must be made within the first six weeks of the semester, and once made, must be adhered to. Instructors are not notified of the pass/fail election; they will report grades as usual; the Office of the Registrar will translate the instructor's grades. Grades of "A+" through "C-" will be entered on the transcript as "P" (pass) and grades lower than "C-" will be entered on the transcript as "F" (fail). Any course elected as pass-fail will carry credit but no honor points. Additional information regarding the pass-fail option for undergraduates is outlined in the Pass-Fail Optionsection of this handbook.

A grade of "NR" (No Report) on a term grade report indicates that although a student was registered for the course, the instructor believes she/he did not attend. After four weeks into the next term, the "NR" will lapse to an "ED" (Unofficial Drop) and will count as a failing grade. If a student did complete the course, but was incorrectly registered, the "NR" can be changed into a grade by completing a late drop/add to correct the course number and section number. The instructor must then submit a supplemental grade report to the School of Music Recorder.

Occasionally, a student is prevented by illness or another cause beyond the student's control from completing a vital part of a course. In such cases, or if credit in a course is temporarily withheld for good reason, the mark "I" may be reported to indicate the student's work for the course is incomplete. As soon as possible, the instructor and student should mutually agree on methods for completing the work. Students receiving a mark of "I" in a course must make up the deficiency within the first four weeks of the next term of enrollment. If the student is not in residence subsequent to receiving a mark of "I," credit will be allowed only if the deficiency is made up within a calendar year of the official termination of the course. Submit an Incomplete Extension form available from the Records Office if more time is needed.

A student repeating a course in which a "C-" through "D-" was previously earned will receive honor points, but no additional credit. Both grades are used in computing the grade point average.

Independent Study

An Independent Study form must be completed for each independent study course registered for each term. Take the completed form to the instructor for a signature when you request the override. Return the completed form to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Recorder, room 2290 Moore.

Overrides

An override is authorization to elect a course which has entry restrictions (i.e., "permission of instructor," "CEW only," etc.) in the prerequisites column of the Time Schedule, or which is already closed due to enrollment limits. All overrides are submitted electronically. If the instructor approves a student's request for an override, he/she reports the student's name and ID number and the appropriate course and section information to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Recorder, who then enters the override electronically. IMPORTANT: an instructor's permission does NOT constitute registration for the course. You must still register by telephone 24 hours after the override is reported to the Recorder.

Part-Time or Overload Enrollment

Undergraduate Students. See the policy on Part-Time and Overload Enrollment in the

Academic Regulations for Undergraduate Students section of this handbook.

Full-time enrollment in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance for undergraduates is from 12 to 19 hours during full terms and from five to nine hours during half terms. Permission to elect other than full time enrollment must be requested by completing the Part-Time/Overload Enrollment form and presenting it for approval to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in Room 2277 Moore. Undergraduate students taking more than 18 hours are charged extra tuition for each additional hour. Although the School of Music, Theatre & Dance considers 19 hours full-time, the Telephone Registration System will not allow you to register for more than 18 hours. It will be necessary to go to CRISP in person to register for credits beyond 18 hours.

Graduate Students. See the policy on Credit Hour Requirements and Residence Requirements in the Academic Regulations for Graduate Students section of this handbook.

Full time enrollment in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance for Master of Music students is from 9 to 15 hours during full terms and from 4 to 6 hours during half terms. Permission to elect other than full time enrollment must be requested by completing the Part-Time/Overload Enrollment form and presenting it for approval to the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies in Room 2277 Moore. There is no additional tuition charge for graduate students taking more than 15 hours. The Telephone Registration System will not allow you to register for more than 15 hours, so it will be necessary to go to CRISP in person to register for credits beyond 15 hours.

The election of performance instruction only does not represent satisfactory progress toward a degree, and will not ordinarily be approved.

Performance Instruction

Policies: Private performance instruction is a required component of many School of Music programs. Performance studio assignments will be determined by the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and the Department Chairs. Every effort is made to accomodate the wishes of both students and faculty members in making studio assignments, but no student can be guaranteed a specific teacher and no faculty member can be guaranteed a specific student. All

elective instruction is subject to availability of faculty time. Studio assignments will be posted on the glass-covered bulletin board in the second floor foyer during the first full week of classes.

Procedures: Because of the many levels of instruction available, performance course numbers are not printed in the Time Schedule. Students do use the same procedure for performance registration. Students who have been assigned to a studio may register for lessons by using the faculty section number for their instructor. A complete list of faculty section numbers is posted for reference outside the Admissions & Student Services Office, Room 2290 Moore. Students requesting a new teacher should register for Section 888 and submit an Application for Studio Assignment in Music Performance form to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Recorder, in Room 2290 Moore. Applications received after 5:00 p.m. on the final -Day of registration will be accomodated only in those studios where space remains. Whenever possible, please indicate two teacher preferences on any performance request. When the assignments are posted, students should check the list to confirm that their course election, including section number, is correct. Students who registered for 888 will be placed into the correct section automatically.

The studio assignment form needs to be filled out each time a student starts individual instruction in a new studio. Once assigned to a studio, the student may continue to register for each term without submitting a new form. If a student wishes to change instructors, a new Studio Assignment form must be submitted to the Recorder to request a new instructor. Studio Assignment forms are not needed for performance classes 111-218 or composition lessons.

A Term Repertory Report in Applied Music or Music Performance form asks students to summarize their progress through literature studied in lessons during the current semester. This form must be completed and turned in to the students' instructor at the end of each term. Check with the instructor for any special instructions.

Registration

Before registering for classes, students should meet with their advisers to help determine a class schedule based on degree requirements and personal goals. Advising appointments should be scheduled separately from other regularly scheduled meetings, such as private instruction or coaching. Together with the adviser, a student will fill out a registration worksheet and any necessary performance request forms, which must be signed by an adviser.
Students must see individual instructors for overrides for any independent study courses, or courses with entry restrictions (i.e.,

"permission of instructor, PI") in the prerequisites column of the Time Schedule (see the section on overrides in this section of the handbook for more information). Before attempting to register, check Wolverine Access (http://waccess.umich.edu) for information on closed courses or sections. Register by using Touch Tone CRISP at your appointment time, or any time thereafter. Information on using the telephone registration system and Wolverine Access is located in the front of the Time Schedule. There are consultants available at the CRISP office in Angell Hall for help in this process.

Registration Appointments are sent to the student electronically through their e-mail account. Verification of these appointments can be made through Wolverine Access.

Changes to students' schedules may be made freely through Touch Tone Registration until the end of the third week of classes. Following that, Touch Tone registration will be disconnected and further changes must be made in person at the Registrar's Office in the North Campus Commons or the CRISP Office in Angell Hall. The approval of the student's adviser and instructor are required to add a course, change status from visit to credit or increase the number of credit hours for a course after the third week of the term or half-term. Between the third and sixth week, drop/add worksheets must be signed by the instructor, the adviser, and the appropriate dean and validated by the recorder before going to CRISP. After the sixth week, the School does not expect further changes in a student's program. The School of Music policy states "no such changes will be permitted, except for medical reasons, provided that (1) an incomplete is unacceptable to the instructor(s) of the courses(s) and (2) a written statement is submitted to the appropriate dean by a physician confirming that continued enrollment in the course(s) is not feasible. If it still seems necessary to make a change, a late drop/add petition is required in addition to the drop/add worksheet. Go to room 2277 to receive instructions and a petition.

Both the registration worksheet and any performance request form(s) MUST be signed by the student's adviser. These forms should then be taken to either the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Recorder, Room 2290 Moore, or the Rackham Recorder, Room 2277 Moore. Registration for any courses will not be possible unless the election worksheet has been approved, and placement in a performance studio or a performance class will not be given unless a performance request form(s) has been submitted.

Signatures

Except for office staff specifically authorized to sign for their supervisors, no person may sign the name of another person to any University document. Forging the name of a faculty member or administrator is a serious offense and may result in disciplinary action under the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Code of Academic Conduct.

Transfer Credit

Transferring credit completed prior to enrollment: Some or all credits completed by undergraduate transfer students at another college or university may transfer. The Undergraduate Admissions Office evaluates non-music academic credits and the School of Music, Theatre & Dance evaluates all professional credit. Some previous college work may be given equivalent course credit if the course corresponds closely to a School of Music, Theatre & Dance course; some previous courses may transfer as departmental credit in a general area, such as history or humanities, if they are not equivalent to a specific School of Music, Theatre & Dance course.

A Credit Evaluation Report is prepared from final official transcripts submitted from the previous institution. This report lists all courses and credits which transfer from that institution to the University of Michigan academic record. A copy of this report will be made available to the student as soon as possible. The Credit Evaluation Report must be shown to the student's adviser when choosing classes. This report cannot be prepared until a final, official transcript from the previous institution is submitted to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance

Admissions Office.

Transferring credit completed at another institution while enrolled in the School of Music: An undergraduate may transfer no more than seventy-five semester hours of credit toward a bachelors degree in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. A maximum of 62 semester hours may be transferred from an accredited two-year college. An undergraduate who has not exceeded these limits may take additional course work off-campus and apply to transfer it back to their ongoing UM record. See the descriptions of curricula and academic regulations listed separately in this handbook for details.

Master's level graduate students may apply to transfer up to 6 credit hours onto their ongoing academic record; credits cannot be transferred into doctoral programs. Some departments may, however, consider a waiver of a course based on work taken elsewhere. Students should consult their doctoral adviser or department chair and see the information regarding course waiver or substitution requests.

If you have questions about transfer credit, make an appointment to meet with the Director of Admissions, Room 2290 Moore.

Withdrawing from All Courses

To withdraw from all courses, a student should obtain a Withdrawal Notice from the School of Music, Theatre & Dance recorder and present the form, with his or her student identification card, at the Entree Office in the Pierpont Commons or Window A in the LS&A Building. A student withdrawing before the end of the sixth week of classes (third week of classes in a half-term) may be eligible for a partial refund of tution.

School of Music, Theatre & Dance Facilities, Financial Aid, and General Student Information

Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy

While the emphasis of this policy is on prevention and assistance for problems associated with alcohol and other drugs, the offer of help and the willingness to accept assistance do not preclude sanctions or excuse students, faculty or staff members from their obligations to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance or their liability under relevant laws. Consideration of sanctions may be necessary when alcohol or other drug use is associated with problems such as poor work performance, poor attendance, destruction of property, injury to individuals, and unlawful possession, use, manufacture, or distribution of alcohol and other drugs on University property or as part of University activities. The School of Music, Theatre & Dance Alcohol and Other Drugs Policy is distributed at orientation, and copies are available in the deans' offices.

Classroom Use Policy

Classrooms located on the second floor of the Moore Building (rooms 2019-2044) may be used for practice for up to two hours a -Day per student or ensemble. Room schedules are

posted on the classroom door. All requests for classroom use are scheduled through the

Scheduling Coordinator in Room 2309.

Theatre Department classroom requests may be made to the Department of Theatre and Drama, Room 2550 Frieze Building.

Directory Information

Public faculty, staff, and student information is electronically accessible via the on-line campus X.500 Directory Service (http://web500gw.itd.umich.edu:8888/H). One can use this directory from most computers to locate the addresses, telephone numbers, and electronic mail addresses of members of the University community. The X.500 Directory is protected so it cannot be used to produce mass mailing lists, but the information is otherwise publicly available on a world-wide basis. In addition to the information obtained from the Registrar's Office, a student can add other information about him- or herself to the X.500 Directory. Students should add their local address, local phone number, fax number, and electronic mail address early in the semester. For details and instructions, see the general information section at the beginning of the Time Schedule.

Financial Holds

Proper observance of financial obligation is an essential component of good conduct. Students shall pay all accounts due in accordance with regulations set forth by the University. When a student's account shows indebtedness, a "hold-credit" is placed on the student's record and academic credits are withheld, no transcript of academic record or diploma will be issued, nor will future registration be permitted. Offices such as the University Libraries, Health Service, University Hospital, Student Accounts, Student Loans, and the like can place

financial hold-credits on a student's record.

If a student owes money to Student Accounts or Student Loans, the bill may be paid at the Cashier's window in the LS&A Building or the Pierpont Commons. When doing so, it is necessary to tell the cashier that a financial hold-credit exists. The Cashier's Office will then enter a "paid" status in the computer to remove this hold. If a student does not indicate that a hold-credit is involved, the payment may not be credited to his/her account immediately and may take as long as two weeks to be entered on the computer.

All other hold-credits must be paid directly to the office to which a student owes money. When a hold credit is paid off, a receipt is issued; this receipt must be taken to the Cashier's Office, which must be notified that a hold-credit exists. Any outstanding bills that exist upon graduation must be paid in full before a final transcript or diploma will be issued.

Hall Use Policy

The three halls located on the first floor of the Moore Building, the Rehearsal Hall, Britton Recital Hall, and McIntosh Theatre, are primarily used for School of Music, Theatre & Dance courses, concerts, recitals, special performances, and rehearsals for all these events.

Weekend use calendars are posted outside Room 2309 each Friday. Students are encouraged to refer to these posted schedules and use any unscheduled weekend time on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Theatre Department rehearsal and performance space is scheduled by the Theatre Department and University Productions.

Identification Cards

Students can have an ID card made at the Entreé Office in the Pierpont Commons on North Campus or in the basement of the Student Activities Building on Central Campus. ID cards are distributed to incoming students during orientation. ID cards become valid upon registration for the current term. An ID card is needed to register, check out library books, use the health service or recreation facilities, buy tickets to athletic events, etc. If a card is lost or damaged, apply for a replacement card at the Entree office. There is a fee to replace a lost or damaged card.

Jobs

Finding a job while you are a student: Music students interested in work-study or hourly employment may contact the Coordinator of Ensembles; the Senior Admissions Counselor; the Circulation Supervisor in the Music Library; the Administrative Associate of the Department of Theatre and Drama; or may consult the "Jobs Board" outside of Room 2315 Moore.

Finding a job upon graduation: The Career Planning and Placement Office in room 3200 of the Student Activities Building provides information about careers and occupations and about occupational supply and demand. Each student is urged to register and to create a credentials file in the Career Planning and Placement Office, Room 1318. Information concerning job openings in music is available in the Associate Dean's Office, Room 2277, and also in the Music library.

Merit-Based Scholarships

The School of Music, Theatre & Dance administers merit-based scholarship awards to students in all music programs. The deadline for applications for merit-based awards is generally February 15. Music students (Dance and Theatre student should see their department chair) who wish to be considered for merit-based awards must apply each year. For further information, B.M., B.F.A., B.M.A., M.M., and SpecM students should consult the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs, Room 2277 Moore; M.A., M.F.A., D.M.A., and Ph.D. students should consult the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, Room 2277 Moore.

Need-Based Financial Aid

University and federally-funded need-based financial aid (including University grants and loans, Pell Grants, College Work-Study, Perkins Loans, and Stafford Loans) are administered by the Office of Financial Aid (OFA), room 2011, Student Activities Building. Again, to be considered for the full range of need-based aid programs, all continuing students who have previously applied for aid must complete the renewal application of the Free Application for

Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and submit it before April 1. Be sure that all analysis forms are sent to the University of Michigan Office of Financial Aid (not to the School of Music, Theatre & Dance). All application materials and further instructions are available from the Office of Financial Aid.

Practice Rooms - Guidelines for Use

Practice rooms are available on the lower level of the Moore Building for the use of all students enrolled in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance or Rackham students enrolled in music programs. Please observe the following guidelines when using the practice rooms:

·DO NOT smoke, eat, or drink in the practice rooms.

·DO NOT practice in the lounge, hallways, or stairwells. Please be considerate of the noise levels.

·A full description of the piano practice room facilities and how to use them is available on-line in the Information Resources folder of the Central Server. This document is entitled "1996 Piano Use Guide." You may also pick up a copy guide in the Piano Technology Lab, Room 1245.

·Practice rooms with grand pianos (odd numbered rooms 1141-1183) are available for use by authorized piano majors and principals only. A key check-out and reserved practice time system is in place to ensure that only authorized users have access to the grand pianos. See the Piano Use Guide for details.

·Rooms 1169, 1188, 1190, 1192, and 1194 are voice teaching assistant studios and rooms 1185 and 1187 are piano teaching assistant studios. These rooms are not available for practice.

·If a practice room is empty for more than 15 minutes, it will become available to another student; students cannot hold a place in a practice room with books, music, etc. This includes both assigned and unassigned rooms.

Recital Policy for Instrumental and Vocal Music Students

Degree recitals (recitals which are a requirement for graduation in a student's chosen degree) have first priority, and are scheduled twice a year. Recitals to be given in the Fall semester may be booked beginning the first Monday in August of that calendar year. Recitals to be given in the Winter semester may be booked beginning the first Monday in November of the prior calendar year.

The Recital Planner notebook is available at any time outside the Scheduling Office (room 2309). It contains a calendar with the available recital dates and times for the current semester in both the Britton Recital Hall and the McIntosh Theatre. It also contains a complete guide, information sheet, forms, and events calendar to assist in planning the recital. It is recommended that students consult the planner a few weeks in advance to ensure their first or second choices remain available. The Rackham Assembly Hall is an alternate venue available on week nights to graduate students, and the Rackham use policies and calendar may be obtained through the Scheduling Office.

Non-degree recitals (recitals or student performances for which there is no written degree requirement) must be approved by the appropriate Associate Dean and may be booked six weeks in advance of the requested date. Every effort is made to accommodate these requests, and alternative performance spaces and times are available.

Absences

Several curricula lead to the Bachelor of Music degree. Although certain courses, such as music theory, music history, and English, are common to all, much of each curriculum is designed to prepare the student in a specific field. The non-music courses that apply toward completing a degree may be chosen from the rich and varied offerings of the University's other programs, schools, and colleges (except Officer Education Programs).

General Requirements

Semester Hours of Credit

A minimum of 120 hours of credit with an average grade of C (honor-point average of 2.0) must be completed. The requirement of some curricula, however, may be higher than this minimum; for further information, consult the specific curriculum outlines elsewhere in this Handbook. A normal course load per term is fifteen hours; additional hours to a maximum of eighteen may be elected with the approval of the student's adviser. Hours elected above eighteen will be subject to additional costs. The minimum full-time undergraduate course load is twelve hours. During the Summer Half-Term, the minimum full-time load is five hours and the maximum is nine hours. A student is generally expected to devote approximately three hours per week for each hour of credit. One hour is normally spent in class and two in preparation, but the proportion varies considerably depending upon the course.

Senior Residence

At least twenty-four hours of courses required in the senior year must be completed in residence, including all senior courses in the major field. A student must be enrolled in performance when presenting a recital. However, with permission of a student's instructor, a degree recital may be presented during the first four weeks of a term (or two weeks of a half-term) if the student was enrolled during the previous term. This grace period applies from Winter to Summer-Half, Summer-Half to Fall, and Winter to Fall. The grace period is counted from the first -Day of classes. It cannot be extended by use of an incomplete (I) grade.

The Core Curriculum

Each student is required to complete by election or demonstrated proficiency a basic core

curriculum:

Piano 111, 112; Major or Principal Instrument (or Voice): minimum of 24 hours or completion of course 426 by proficiency examination; Ensemble: four terms of appropriate ensemble. String majors must participate for four terms in Ensemble 345 (University Orchestra). Wind and percussion majors must participate for four terms in Ensemble 345, 347 (University Band) or 348 (Marching Band). Voice majors must participate for four terms in Ensemble 349 (University Choir) or 350 (University Chamber Choir). Music Education majors must participate for four terms in Ensemble

345, 347, 348, 349, or 350. All other majors must participate for two of the four terms in Ensemble 345, 347, 348, 349, or 350; the other two terms of this requirement may be satisfied by selecting from among any of the large or small ensembles deemed appropriate for the student by his or her major department; Music Theory 139/149, 140/150, 239/249, 240/250, and 351; Musicology 139, 140, 239, and 240; Music Theory or Musicology: one-term elective (300 level or higher) or Jazz 466, 467, or 470; English 124, 125, or 220 and a second course, either English 225 (Argumentative Writing) or a Junior-Senior Writing Course approved by the English Composition Board.

Each student will choose one of the curricula given elsewhere in this Handbook. That choice will be governed by previous training and experience and should be approved by the adviser for the department concerned.

Since the requirements of departmental curricula are similar in the first and second years (except for the major or principal performance area), it is possible for a student to change majors, with departmental approval and without serious disruptions, before the third year. The work of the final two years leading to the Bachelor of Music degree provides more specialized study.

Each student must complete, in addition to the 120 hours of credit with a C average, courses and proficiencies specified for the department of specialization and, where required, a public recital or deposit of compositions.

The right is reserved to withhold the recommendation of a candidate for a degree with a major in performance if, in the judgment of the faculty, the minimum hours of credit earned in performance do not represent adequate maturation and musicianship to merit the distinction of a degree. This provision is necessary because of possible individual differences in proficiency and musicianship at the time of admission.

Each student must present a minimum of 30 credit hours in non-music courses. "Non-music" is defined as including Dance and Theatre. Some departmental curricula require more credit in non-music courses than this minimum.

Bachelor of Fine Arts

The Bachelor of Fine Arts is offered in Dance, Jazz Studies, Jazz and Contemporary Improvisation, Musical Theatre, Media and Music Technology (in Media Arts or Music), Theatre Design and Production, and Theatre Performance. Requirements are listed under curricula elsewhere in this Handbook.

The Artist and Scholar Honors Program

The Artist and Scholar Honors Program is designed to cultivate and develop the abilities of gifted students of unusual artistic or intellectual promise. By allowing a small number of selected undergraduate students (a total of approximately 12-15 at a time) to design their own courses of study in close consultation with faculty advisers, the program makes the resources of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance accessible in ways normally unavailable to degree-pursuing students.

A student considered for the Artist and Scholar Honors Program must be nominated by a department chair with the concurrence of the department(s) or program(s) of the intended area(s) of focus. Students will normally be identified for this recognition during the sophomore year and must have, at the time of nomination, at least a 3.5 grade point average. The nomination procedure requires a letter from the department chair to the dean setting forth the reasons that justify extraordinary recognition and suggesting ways in which special

instructional opportunities might be made available to the student.

Upon the recommendation of the faculty adviser and the dean, the Executive Committee is authorized to name students to the Artist and Scholar Honors Program. A faculty mentor will be appointed by the Executive Committee to serve as adviser and to work with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in responding to unusual curricular or instructional needs of the Honors student.

An Artist and Scholar Honors Program student must complete the Core Curriculum by

election, exemption, or waiver. Apart from that, the student designs the balance of the

curriculum in consultation with his or her adviser.

The Executive Committee will appoint four members of the faculty, representing both artists and scholars, to oversee the program and student progress. These faculty may also advise students in the program. The Honors Council will also serve as a cross-departmental liaison for Honors students.

At the end of each term, or immediately after a term's work is reported on an updated

transcript, the faculty adviser of an Honors Program student will submit a statement to the Honors Council concerning the progress of the student. On the basis of these statements,

the Honors Council will recommend to the Executive Committee that the Honors Program status of the student be renewed or revoked.

Dual Degree in Music and Engineering

This program is intended for students who seek the technical studies associated with the College of Engineering in combination with the professional training in applied or academic musical studies associated with the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. These dual degrees are open to students enrolled in both Engineering and Music. They lead to concurrent bachelor's degrees from both units and are intended primarily for students who enroll as freshmen in either unit.

The variety of courses that may be elected by students in the joint program makes it impractical to list specific requirements. Students should consult their advisers, Dean Gene Smith in

Engineering and Ms. Laura Strozeski in Music, to develop the best plan of study. Responsibility for planning the academic program and maintaining contact with advisers in the two fields rests with the student, who is also responsible for becoming

familiar with the academic policies and requirements in both fields as described in the Bulletin of the College of Engineering and the Handbook of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.

Candidates for the combined Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) and degrees offered by the School of Music, Theatre & Dance must complete one of the degree programs in the College of Engineering, complete one of the degree programs in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance (usually 60­90 credits), and maintain a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 and good scholastic standing in both the College of Engineering and the School of Music. It is usually possible for students electing 16-17 credits per term to meet all requirements in eleven or twelve terms.

Other Dual Degrees

Students may apply to a dual degree program with other units of the University at any point in their studies. However, we recommend applying before the beginning of the junior year.

Students participating in this program will have an academic adviser in both units and both degrees will be granted simul-taneously upon graduation.

School of Music, Theatre & Dance Graduate Student Regulations

Admission

Admission to any graduate program in music at the University of Michigan is predicated upon completion of a bachelor's or master's degree in the same field at the University of Michigan or an equivalent program at another institution. Work elected in making up deficiencies will not count as credit toward the degree.

Residence Requirements

All graduate students are expected to enroll full-time. Part-time enrollment is permitted only with the approval of the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies. All work toward the master's degree or specialist degree must be completed within six years from the date of first enrollment in the program. All work toward the doctoral degree must be completed within seven years from the date of first enrollment in the program. No degree except the Master of Music in Music Education may be earned entirely through summer enrollments, and in that case only if the chair of the Department of Music Education grants written permission at the time the student is admitted. The minimum residence requirement for School of Music, Theatre & Dance programs is the equivalent of two full terms of work, or twenty-four hours. When a student begins degree work with deficiencies, the length of time required to complete the degree will be increased proportionately.

Every master's and specialist student is required to enroll for and complete satisfactorily a full load of at least three courses relevant to his or her degree program. These should comprise a total of at least nine credit hours (full-time enrollment). Permission to elect a lesser load may be sought by submitting the form "Request for Permission to Enroll Part-Time."

A student must be enrolled in a performance course when presenting a recital except that, with the permission of the instructor, a degree recital may be presented during the first four weeks of a term (or the first two weeks of a half-term) without being enrolled if the student was enrolled during the previous term. This grace period applies from the Fall to Winter, Winter to Summer-Half, Summer-Half to Fall, and Winter to Fall terms. The four weeks (two weeks) are counted from the first -Day of classes. The grace period cannot be extended by the use of an "I" grade.

Credit Hour Requirements

All Master of Music, Master of Arts, and Specialist in Music programs require a minimum of thirty hours of graduate credit with an average grade of B. The normal course load is at least twelve hours per term or six hours per half-term. A master's or specialist student may transfer up to six hours of graduate credit from accredited institutions with the approval of the student's adviser and the Associate Dean for Graduate Studies. Credit hour requirements for doctoral programs are described in the Handbook for Rackham Students in Music, Dance, or Theatre from the office of the Associate Dean.

A graduate or specialist student must have a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of at least B (5.0) to receive a degree. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below B (5.0) in a given term or half-term will either be placed on probation for the following term or half-term or be denied permission to reenroll. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below B for two successive terms or half-terms will either be granted a final opportunity to raise his or her average or will be denied permission to reenroll. A student whose cumulative GPA falls below B for three successive terms or half-terms will not be permitted to enroll again in a School of Music, Theatre & Dance

program.

Grading Criteria

The faculty of the School of Music, Theatre & Dance have established the following descriptions and criteria for grading at the graduate level:

Excellent: Markedly above average for graduate student

A+ (9 honor points) The highest conceivable standard of work

A (8 honor points) Genuinely outstanding

A- (7 honor points) A very high standard in which strengths far exceed weaknesses

Good: Standard normally expected of graduate students

B+ (6 honor points) Above average

B (5 honor points) Average

B- (4 honor points) Revealing certain weaknesses

Fair: Below average for graduate students

C+ (3 honor points) Lacking essential qualities

C (2 honor points) Marginally acceptable

C- (1 honor point) Need for marked improvement to remain in program

Poor: Not acceptable at graduate level

D (0 honor points)

E (0 honor points)

Incomplete Grades

An incomplete grade may be assigned to a student only if the unfinished part of the student's work is small, the work is unfinished for reasons acceptable to the instructor, and the student's standing in the course is a B grade or higher. The student and the instructor should discuss the incomplete prior to its conferral. (A grade of "I" can be changed to a letter grade only if the incomplete work is made up by the second full term following the term fro which the "I" is given, counting the spring-summer term, regardless of whether the student is enrolled.) If the grade of "I" has stood for two full terms, credit can be earned only by re-electing the course, attending classes, and completing all course work and examinations. The grade-point average will be based on hour or work completed. The grade of "I" is permanently retained on the student's record. An incomplete which has been made up according to the above procedure will appear on the student's transcript as a crossed-out "I" with the letter grade next to it. A grade of "X" (Absent from Examination) will be recorded as "I." An "I" grade cannot be used to extend the grace period for presentation of a recital without enrolling.

Pass/Fail Grades

Graduate students in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance are not permitted to elect any courses in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance on a pass/fail basis, including courses taken to make up undergraduate deficiencies. Students in music may, however, elect courses pass/fail in theatre and dance when they are not being elected to satisfy requirements. Similarly, courses outside the School of Music, Theatre & Dance elected to

satisfy a student's degree requirement may not be elected pass/fail. No more than one course may be elected on a pass/fail basis per term, or half-term. If a course is elected on a pass/fail basis, the Office of the Registrar will translate grades of C or above as pass, C- or below as fail.

Dropping a Course

A student may drop a course, or change status from credit to visit, or decrease the hours for a course within the range listed in the Time Schedule through the third week of classes in a full term or the second week of a half-term. Approval of the adviser, the instructor and the Associate Dean is required. After the sixth week (fourth week of a half-term) no change will be permitted, except that a drop may be permitted for a medical reasons provided that (1) an incomplete is not acceptable to the instructor in the course, and (2) continued enrollment in the course is not feasible.

Unsatisfactory progress or a failing grade in a course are not considered acceptable reasons for dropping the course after the sixth week (fourth week of a half-term). Similarly, being too busy is not an acceptable reason for dropping a course after the sixth week (fourth week) unless there are compelling circumstances.

Time Limit

All work toward a master's or specialist degree must be completed within six years from the date of first enrollment in the degree program. No work completed more than six years prior to the awarding of a degree may be counted. The Associate Dean may approve extensions of up to two years beyond the six-year limit for completing the master's degree or specialist degree, and may approve the counting of work completed up to eight years earlier toward a master's or specialist degree. If an extension is granted, the student must meet the degree requirements in force at the time the degree is awarded.

Curriculum and Examination Requirements

Each new graduate student in music is required to take a placement examination in music theory. This examination is to be taken during the first term or half-term of residence. A student who has taken Music Theory 351 or a 400- or 500-level course in theory at the University of Michigan during the preceding four years is not required to take the examination.

It is possible to gain more time for graduate study by avoiding the need to make up undergraduate deficiencies. In order to do so, it is important that each new graduate student arrive prepared to take the placement examination in music theory. The following tests are given to those who have completed appropriate courses; recommended preparation is indicated:

1. Freshman-level writing skills: Edward Aldwell and Carl Schachter, Harmony and Voice

Leading, 2d ed., Chapters 1­19 (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich).

2. Freshman-level aural skills: sight singing and two-part dictation of a level comparable to Unit 1 (Parts 1­11) of Thomas Benjamin, Michael Horvit and Robert Nelson, Music for Sight Singing, 2nd ed. (Wadsworth). Harmonic dictation paralleling the conceptual

material in the Aldwell and Schachter text, Chapters 1­19.

3. Sophomore-level writing skills: Edward Aldwell and Carl Schachter, Chapters 20­30,

analytical skills in simpler 20th-century pitch-centered music (e.g., Debussy, Bartók,

Stravinsky) and in basics of 12-tone serialism (e.g., Schoenberg, Webern).

4. Sophomore-level aural skills: sight singing and two-part dictation of difficulty comparable to that of Benjamin, Horvit and Nelson, Unit 2 (Parts 12­17) and Unit 3 (Parts 19­22). Harmonic dictation paralleling the conceptual material in the Aldwell and Schachter text, Chapters 20­29, with particular emphasis on simple mixture, applied harmony modulation, and the Neapolitan and augmented-sixth chords.

5. Junior-level analysis: prototypical tonal forms from Bach to Brahms. See, for example, books on form by Wallace Berry, Douglass Green, Donald Tovey, Charles Rosen, and others. Skills include stylistic, formal, structural, motivic, and reductive analysis of

representative works from the tonal repertoire.

6. Junior-level 20th-century analysis: representative works from pitch-centered, atonal, 12-tone, and experimental styles and systems. See, for example, Kostka, Materials and Techniques of Twentieth-Century Music (Prentice Hall); Lester, Analytic Approaches to Twentieth-Century Music (Norton); Perle, Serial Composition and Atonality (University of

California Press); Simms, Music in the Twentieth Century: Styles and Structure (Schirmer) and Straus, Introduction to Post-Tonal Theory (Prentice Hall).

The following anthologies of works are relevant to tests 5 and 6: Arlin et al., Music Sources (Prentice Hall); Burkhart, Anthology for Musical Analysis (Holt, Rhinehart and Winston); Wennerstrom, Anthology of Musical Structure and Style (Prentice Hall); Wennerstrom,

Anthology of Twentieth-Century Music (Prentice Hall); Simms, Music of the Twentieth Century: An Anthology (Schirmer).

Tests 1­4 are approximately 45, 50, 60, and 40 minutes long, respectively. Test 5 lasts

approximately 90 minutes and is intended for those students who have taken at least two and a half years of college theory. Test 6 lasts approximately two hours and is intended for those students whose programs require 20th-century analysis and who have completed a college-level third-year theory course in the subject.

School of Music, Theatre & Dance Graduate Programs

At least one-third of the credits for a master's degree must be taken in the student's major field. Another third must be taken in other studies in music. At least half the credit required for the master's or specialist degrees must be in courses numbered 500 or above. No course numbered below 400 may be counted for a master's or specialist degree. Credit toward a graduate degree cannot be granted for any course elected to satisfy a deficiency nor for any course required as a prerequisite to the student's graduate program. The remainder comprise elective studies in supportive music or non-music fields.

The work in the major field, which should encompass intensive and extensive coverage of the subject matter, should culminate in tangible evidence of the capacity of the student to organize and present the specific materials of the subject matter and to demonstrate independence of thought, critical powers, interpretive abilities, and potential as a scholar and a musician. This tangible evidence may take the form of a thesis, composition, project, comprehensive examination, or public recital.

The School of Music, Theatre & Dance reserves the right to withhold the recommendation of a candidate for a

degree with a major in performance if, in the judgment of the faculty, the minimum of credits earned in performance do not represent adequate maturation and musicianship to merit the distinction of a degree without additional study. This provision is necessary because of possible individual differences in proficiency and musicianship at the time of admission.

Language Requirements

Certain master's programs have language proficiency entrance
requirements. Consult the descriptions of individual curricula for details. For information about the language requirements for doctoral programs see the Handbook for Rackham Students.

Students Anticipating Doctoral Study

Electing beginning language courses as a doctoral student at Michiganwhich can add a term or more to your programis expensive, time consuming, and a poor use of limited time for doctoral study. Some facility in a European language is, moreover, assumed in some doctoral programs in the School of Music, Theatre & Dance. In addition to two terms of a foreign language, any master's student anticipating doctoral study at the University of Michigan should complete at least two graduate courses in music history or theory, including Musicology 503 or 501, if required, plus a course to satisfy the pedagogy requirement, as part of her of his master's program. A student pursuing the master's degree elsewhere should elect a music bibliography course equivalent to musicology 503.

Multiple Degrees

A student pursuing two master's degrees in the School of Music simultaneously must satisfy all requirements for both degrees, as if each program were being pursued independently, although up to 10 credit hours may be double-counted. To request double-counting, submit the School of Music, Theatre & Dance form "Double-Counting of Courses for Dual Graduate Degrees." Approval of both

departments involved and of the Associate Dean is required.

Transfer Credit

A portion of a course may not be transferred; the entire course must be transferred. Evaluation of a request for graduate transfer credit will take place after the first term of enrollment in a School of Music, Theatre & Dance graduate degree program.

Readmission

Any graduate student who has not been enrolled for three full terms (12 months) or more must contact the School of Music, Theatre & Dance Admissions Office to apply for readmission. Applications for readmission are evaluated on the basis of the criteria and expectations in effect at the time of readmission rather than those in effect at the time of original admission, if different. Similarly, a student who is readmitted must satisfy the degree requirements in effect at the time of readmission rather than those in effect at the time of original admission, if different. A student seeking readmission will normally be required to re-audition.

Specialist in Music Degree

The Specialist in Music degree (Spec.M.) deserves special mention because of its unique nature. This degree was inaugurated in 1981 by the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance as an alternative to the Ph.D. or D.M.A. degrees for the person who seeks additional work at the post-master's level. The specialist programs have been designed in response to inquiries and requests from persons who hold master's degrees and who recognize the need for further study in music but do not wish to pursue a doctoral program because of its length, its emphasis on research and scholarship, and its language and dissertation requirements. Post-master's study with non-degree status is often insufficient for such persons because it does not result in a credential.

Although the specific objectives differ among departments, in general the Specialist in Music program is intended to serve the following purposes:

1. The program provides opportunities and appropriate recognition for the individual whose present employment or career goals require a high level of technical skill.

2. The program is useful for the individual who wishes to combine concentrated study in his or her field of specialization with a secondary emphasis in another field of music, such as music history, music theory, conducting, composition, performance, or music education.

3. The program provides high-quality preparation for the person seeking a career teaching in a conservatory of music or a two- or four-year college.

4. The program enables persons who are on sabbatical leave, or who for other reasons have available only one year, to complete (with one or perhaps two additional summers) a well-integrated program of study and receive an appropriate credential.

Currently, the Specialist in Music degree is offered in the fields of Church Music, Ethnomusicology, Music Education, Piano Accompanying, String Instrument Performance, Voice Performance, and Wind and Percussion Instrument Performance. The School of Music application, rather than the Rackham School application, is used to apply for Specialist in Music programs. The degree requires at least two terms of full-time enrollment on campus beyond the master's degree.

The applicant should realize that the Specialist in Music degree is not widely known.

Although several universities offer the degree Specialist in Education, with an emphasis in music, and a few offer the degree Specialist in Music Education, no other institution is known to offer a Specialist in Music degree. The Specialist in Music degree is a terminal degree. Doctoral applications from persons holding Specialist in Music degrees from the University of Michigan will not be considered. Any person contemplating doctoral study should apply for the Ph.D. or D.M.A. program and not for the specialist program.

The Specialist in Music is a post-master's degree based upon an appropriate master's curriculum at the University of Michigan or another accredited institution offering a comparable curriculum. The Specialist in Music degree requires a minimum of 30 hours beyond the master's degree. The requirements of the various programs are as follow:
