PhD Degree Program
The PhD degree is structured to allow maximum flexibility in designing a program around each student’s background and needs. Although the distribution of hours is firm, program requirements are to be regarded as general rather than fixed. The student’s preparation, experience, and stated goals are carefully evaluated before an individually selected course of study is prescribed.
Program objectives are: (1) competency in selected area of concentration and related research areas; (2) development of teaching skills; and (3) ability to successfully publish research in a selected music discipline.
Musicology Concentration Requirements

A program providing a broad background in historical musicology culminating in a dissertation on a musicological topic agreed upon by the student and the doctoral committee.

Nine hours of graduate study outside musicology
These 9 hours of graduate coursework must be in an approved humanistic discipline outside music.
A reading knowledge of two foreign languages, ordinarily including German, must be demonstrated before graduation.
A program providing a broad background in ethnomusicology with a focus on the music of the southern United States:
A minimum of nine courses in the major area (27 hours), including:
Two of the remaining five courses in music shall have a major focus on Southern regional music.
