In addition to completing required course work, students must successfully complete the following prior to graduation:
Comprehensive Examinations. At least two weeks prior to final examinations, music graduate students must pass
written and oral examinations covering all aspects of their graduate program. Students
may not attempt the comprehensive examinations more than three times.
Performance Requirements for Graduation. At the culmination of applied study, near the end of the degree program, and at least
two weeks prior to final examinations, the student will present a full conducting
recital as part of the degree requirements. Students meeting degree performance requirements
must be enrolled for applied music study in the semester or term in which the recital
is given.
