MA - Duration of Study / Residency Requirements
Requirements for the master of arts degree are expected to be completed within five years after the work is begun. The basic residency requirement for the degree is one year of full-time study or its equivalent, two years for musicology majors. The exception to this general rule is major in music education, which may be completed through consecutive summer enrollment. Students holding a graduate award, or those who find it necessary to take part-time employment, should plan to devote at least two years to the MA program. Graduate award holders majoring in the pedagogy of music theory can complete their programs in one year of fulltime residence plus one summer session.
