MM-DMA Accelerated Track


Complete two graduate degrees in four years.

Students who wish to continue from the MM into a DMA program of the same concentration have the option, with the audition and approval of the major professor, of following an accelerated track. This four-year track can save students two semesters of coursework compared to the traditional five-year MM to DMA path. Students will earn the MM degree after the fourth semester of study.
