The heart of our graduate courses is the specialized work of students pursuing advanced studies and research in music theory. Each degree begins with one or two required courses, after which students may pursue their own interests. For MM students, the required course is TH 400; for DMA students, the required courses are TH 401 and 402 (and possibly, by placement exam, a choice of: TH 451, 452, or 480).
