I. The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music. It offers three graduate degrees in music-- Master of Music, Doctor of Musical Arts, and Doctor of Philosophy--and a graduate certificate, the Artist Diploma in Music.

All graduate students must comply with the general requirements of the Graduate School (see Admissions Regulations, Academic Regulations, and Minimum Degree Requirements) as well as the program requirements of the degree being pursued.

A. Prerequisites

1. All requirements for admission to the Graduate School must be met before a student's application will be considered by the School of Music. See the Admissions section of this catalog for further information.
2. Admission to graduate study in the School of Music is competitive and will be based on the student's demonstrated fitness for advanced academic work in music and for the specific demands of the proposed concentration.
3. A baccalaureate degree in music or the equivalent is normally expected before entrance into a graduate program in music. Students with degrees in other disciplines will be considered for admission to a master's program but may be required to make up undergraduate credits in music history, music theory, and/or other subjects as necessary for their intended concentration.
4. Applicants to the MMu programs must submit current GRE (general) or MAT scores with the application materials. Applicants to the PhD programs must submit current GRE (general) scores. Applicants to the DMA programs must submit a satisfactory writ¬ing sample in English, preferably a graded research paper from a university course.
5. Auditions and Work Samples
   1. Students in performance must perform a successful audition for the music faculty in the appropriate area. Auditions are normally on the principal instrument only; students in the woodwinds specialization within the performance concentration must audition acceptably on three woodwind instruments.
   2. Students in composition must submit acceptable compositions in various media to the composition faculty.
   3. Students in music education must submit a written philosophy of music education.
   4. Students in musicology must submit an acceptable writing sample (not necessarily on a musical subject) to the appropriate faculty.
6. Students planning a concentration in jazz and studio music must achieve a satisfactory grade on the proficiency examination administered by that division. Students showing deficiencies may be placed in appropriate undergraduate courses. Students planning to take applied jazz instruction at the 7000 level must perform an audition of classical and jazz literature in several styles. Students planning to take jazz composition/arranging must submit tapes and scores of several works for various media.
7. All students entering master's or doctoral programs in music education are expected to hold a current teaching license in music; all requirements for licensure must be met before admission to graduate study.
8. All students entering a master's or doctoral program in the School of Music, regardless of concentration, must take the music history and theory proficiency examinations given in the days preceding registration in each term; entering MM students (except in musicology, music education, and Orff-Schulwerk) and DMA students must also take an examination in aural theory. Students who pass these examinations may take any history or theory course they wish; those who fail are required either to retake and pass the test(s) or to take assigned remedial course(s) promptly.
9. Students taking courses in vocal pedagogy or vocal performance must satisfactorily pass the proficiency examination in diction administered by the voice faculty. Students who fail this test must take MUSE 4211 and/or 4212 at the first opportunity.

II. Master's Degree Programs

The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music offers the Master of Music degree with concentrations in performance, conducting, pedagogy, musicology, Orff-Schulwerk, music education, jazz and studio music, and composition.

Program objectives are: (1) development of competency in music theory, music history, bibliography, and pedagogical areas related to the discipline; (2) preparation for advanced study in Music; (3) preparation for teaching positions at the elementary, middle, and high school level; and (4) preparation for auditions at orchestra or performing ensemble.

A. Prerequisites to Master's Degree Candidacy

1. The student shall declare a concentration area at the time of application. Admission to graduate standing in that concentration, and any subsequent changes in concentration, must be approved by the appropriate area coordinator.
2. Evidence of keyboard proficiency is required of students in the music education, composition, and voice performance concentrations.

B. Prerequisites for Graduation

1. A student with a concentration in performance must successfully complete a hearing, normally before the area faculty, for the public recital and shall perform that recital to their satisfaction. Advisors may recommend outstanding performers for the Performer's Certificate at any time after the recital by submitting a recording of the recital to the Honors and Awards Committee of the School of Music.
2. All students must pass a comprehensive examination administered by the School of Music.
3. A student of whom a thesis is required shall submit a thesis acceptable to his or her advisor and committee and to the Graduate School. Students should familiarize themselves with the Thesis/Dissertation Preparation Guide before beginning to write.
4. Certain concentrations have language requirements; see the descriptions of the individual programs below.
5. Complete details of this outline may be obtained by writing the Associate Director for Graduate Curriculum and Advising, Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music.

III. MMu Degree Program

A. Core Requirements (10 Hours)

1. Ensemble (1 hour)
2. Music core: 3 hours of bibliography (MUHL 7400), 3 hours of music history, and 3 hours of music theory. Any graduate music theory or history course may be used for this requirement with the exception of individual studies, pedagogy, or repertory courses. (9 hours)

B. Program Requirements (22-26 Hours)

The individual program of study is determined as a cooperative effort between the student and his or her advisor.

IV. Doctoral Degree Programs

The Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music offers the Doctor of Musical Arts degree with concentrations in performance, composition, and conducting. The School also offers the Doctor of Philosophy degree with concentrations in musicology and music education.

A. Admission to Doctoral Programs

All auditions, writing or composition samples, proficiency examinations, etc., described above in "I.A. Prerequisites" are required for entry into doctoral and master's programs alike; standards for the former are naturally higher than for the latter. Completion of a master's degree in music at the University of Memphis does not guarantee admission to a doctoral program.

B. Prerequisites for Doctoral Degree Candidacy

1. Before declaring degree candidacy, doctoral students must have completed 40 hours of graduate coursework.
2. Doctoral candidates who did not have a course in Bibliography and Research Methods at the master's level must complete MUHL 8400 during doctoral study. (Students in the PhD in music education may substitute MUSE 8220 for this requirement.)
3. Students must fulfill all university requirements, including residency for two consecutive semesters.
4. Students must successfully pass written and oral comprehensive examinations. For students in the PhD programs, comprehensive examinations will be taken near the end of coursework and will be tailored to the individual student's course of study and dissertation interest. For students in the DMA programs, there will be two sets of tests, the qualifying examinations in music history and theory, and later a comprehensive examination in the major and minor fields. Opportunities for remediation will be provided by courses, organized study or review sessions, and/or reading lists. A second failure will result in termination from the program.
   The DMA qualifying examinations will be given after the student has completed 27 hours, usually in the fourth semester of full-time study. Students may perform only one degree recital before passing the qualifying exams.
   The DMA comprehensive examination will normally be taken during the last semester of coursework (exclusive of dissertation hours) for the degree. The examination has a written and an oral component and will be administered by the student's committee and tailored to his or her major and minor areas. Further details may be found in the departmental Graduate Student Handbook.
5. Unless otherwise specified, all doctoral programs have language requirements which may be satisfied by (a) successful completion of a foreign-language course at the 1020 level (or the equivalent) or higher, taken at an accredited institution within five years of entry into the doctoral program, or while the student is enrolled in the Graduate School; (b) successful completion of a foreign-language examination administered by the School of Music; or (c) successful completion of a course in computer programming language at the 6000 level or higher. Students who are native speakers of a foreign language may have this requirement waived for that language.
6. Upon completion of these prerequisites, the student may file the candidacy forms and work with his or her committee on the proposal(s) for the dissertation or dissertation equivalent.

C. The Dissertation or Dissertation Equivalent

1. The PhD program requires a doctoral dissertation on an approved scholarly or experimental topic. For most DMA programs, the conventional dissertation is replaced by a dissertation equivalent appropriate to the individual disciplines.
2. Submission of the Dissertation: All regulations of the Graduate School regarding the mechanics and submission of doctoral dissertations apply to dissertations and dissertation equivalents in music. All degree recitals are recorded and a copy of the recording placed on file in the Music Library. NOTE: Students should familiarize themselves with the Thesis/Dissertation Preparation Guide before beginning to write.
3. Dissertation defense: every doctoral candidate must defend his or her dissertation or dissertation equivalent before the doctoral committee. Other faculty may attend the dissertation defense or be invited to participate. At the conclusion of the defense, the results will be conveyed in writing by the major professor to the Associate Director for Graduate Studies.
4. Graduation: The timetable and requirements for graduation are set by the Graduate School and published elsewhere in this Bulletin.

D. Post-Master's Assistantships

Study at the post-master's level involves considerable sacrifice of time and often earning power to fulfill the requirement of most institutions that a full year must be spent in residence before a degree can be awarded. By awarding assistantships at the post-master's level, the Rudi E. Scheidt School of Music seeks to attract the very best combination of talent and scholarship available and to encourage as many talented, mature students as possible to continue learning by providing basic subsistence during the year of residence. Normally, stipends to post-master's students will be for one to three years.

V. DMA Degree Program
