Master of Music Degree in Performance & Literature

This Handbook has been prepared as a guide to the Performance and Literature major in the Master of Music degree-program of the Eastman School of Music. The Master of Music and Doctor of Musical Arts degree-programs are administered by the Graduate Professional Committee - a faculty group chaired by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. Any irregularities in the manner in which students satisfy the requirements of these degree-programs (including double-major or double-degree programs) must be approved by this Committee. Written requests for such special consideration are submitted by the student to the Committee through the office of the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. The Graduate Research Committee (another faculty group chaired by the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies) administers the Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy programs.

Registration of new students is done on the day before classes begin. A group advisement session precedes registration. Pre-registration for the Spring Term (for all students in the program) takes place about two-thirds of the way through the Fall Term. About two-thirds of the way through the Spring Term, pre-registration for the following Fall Term occurs. In anticipation of this pre-registration, your program advisor is available for individual advising sessions with MM/PRL students; special problems may be taken to the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies. Changes in the registrations processed during any of these sessions are made by the student in direct consultation with the Registrar.
