(Michigan State) Associate Professor of Music M. Daniel Yoder, M.Mus. (Idaho) Professor of Music Charles Youmans, Ph.D. (Duke) Associate Professor of Music Max Zorin, D.Mus.A. (Eastman) Associate Professor of Music Master’s Degree Requirements The School of Music offers three master’s degrees: the Master of Arts, the Master of Music Education, and the Master of Music. The Master of Arts in Music offers three tracks, in Music Theory (32 credits), Musicology (32 credits), and Music Theory and History (34 credits). All three tracks provide an interdisciplinary approach to the field of music scholarship, a hallmark of our program, and all tracks require a thesis. The track in Music Theory offers preparation in current modes of research and analysis from a music theoretical perspective. The track in Musicology emphasizes the development of a broad knowledge of music of all periods and, at the same time, cultivates one or more areas of specialization. The track in Music Theory and History provides greater breadth by integrating theoretical, analytical, and historical approaches to musical styles and works. Three programs leading to the master of arts degree are offered. All three degrees require a research component. The M.A. in Music Theory and History (34 credits) provides an interdisciplinary approach to the field of music scholarship, whereas the M.A. in Musicology (32 credits) and the M.A. in Music Theory (32 credits) are more specialized in preparing students for doctoral study. All three programs require a thesis. A reading knowledge of German or another appropriate language must be demonstrated before thesis credit may be scheduled. In the Master of Arts degree program, at least one-half of the required credits must be at the 500 level or higher, and a comprehensive examination is required. The Mmaster of Mmusic Eeducation degree provides the opportunity for advanced study in music, music learning and teaching, and teaching as reflective practice. The program requires one full-time year of residency at the University Park campus, and is designed to be completed in one academic year plus two summer semesters. Fulfillment of degree requirements includes successful completion of 30 credits of course work that includes a final action research project and resultant substantial article-length paper, followed by an oral presentation focusing on the candidate's projects and course work. This presentation, including questions posed by the faculty committee, serves as the final comprehensive examination. (Twenty credits must be earned at the University Park campus and 18 credits must be at the 500-level or higher.) The Mmaster of mMusic degree (36 credits) provides offers four five majors: Performance, Composition/Theory, Conducting, and Pedagogy and Performance (piano and voice tracks). Piano Pedagogy and Performance, and Voice Performance and Pedagogy. The M.Mus. in Performance offers three separate curricula with areas of emphasis in Voice, Keyboard, or Orchestral Instruments. Depending on the area of emphasis, a recital, a composition project, or a conducting project is required. For the M.Mus. in Performance with emphasis in voice or keyboard, a master’s recital is required, in addition to either a master's paper or lecture-recital. For the M.Mus. in Performance (orchestral instruments), a master's recital is required. For the
F8 M.Mus. in Composition/Theory, a composition project and a master's paper are required. The M.Mus. in Conducting offers three areas of emphasis: Orchestral, Choral, or Band/Wind Ensemble; a. A performance project and a master’s paper are required. For the M.Mus. in Pedagogy and Performance, a master’s recital is required, in addition to either a master’s paper or lecture-recital. In the Master of Music degree program, at least one-half of the required credits must be at the 500 level or higher, and a comprehensive examination is required. In all master’s programs, at least one-half the required credits must be at the 500 level, and a comprehensive examination is required. […] Music: Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate Degrees The School of Music offers six two Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree programs: one that combines the B.A. in Music with the M.A. in Music, and one that combines the B.M. in Performance with the M.A. in Music.--three that combine the B.A. in Music with the M.A. in Musicology, Music Theory, and Music Theory and History, and three that combine the B.M. in Performance with the M.A. in Musicology, Music Theory, and Music Theory and History. This enables a select number of students to further their research interests at the undergraduate and graduate levels. By the end of the five-year program students receive two degrees, a B.A. in Music and an M.A. in Music Musicology, Music Theory, or Music Theory and History, or a B.M. in Performance and an M.A. in Music. Musicology, Music Theory, or Music Theory and History. Candidates for these Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degrees must demonstrate a high level of aptitude and achievement in academic core courses and be highly motivated to pursue research projects with faculty. Modeled after a similar program in the Schreyer Honors College, this IUG program enables gifted music students to double count credits in two degree programs. As a result they will have developed a research focus during their fourth and fifth years, which will help them prepare for entry into doctoral programs at other institutions. For further information about the six two Integrated Undergraduate-Graduate degree programs, including application procedures and degree requirements, see the School of Music web site. PART B Justification for changes The School of Music currently offers three Master of Arts degrees: the M.A. in Music Theory, the M.A. in Musicology, and the M.A. in Music Theory and History. Our M.A. program is unusual in the way its faculty and students work together, creating an integrative approach to the academic study of music. After careful consideration, and as a way to respond to the University Core Council’s recommendation that the number of non-education Master’s programs be reduced, we are proposing to consolidate our three M.A. degrees into a single M.A. in Music with tracks in Music Theory, Musicology, or Music Theory and History. While maintaining the current curricula, we believe that proceeding in this direction will preserve the strength of our program
