The College of the Arts offers degrees at the master’s and doctoral levels. Due to the variety of degrees offered, students are advised to consult the listing for all degrees offered in College of the Arts for specific information on degree requirements of particular degrees.

All schools in the college offer master’s degrees, which provide in-depth instruction and preparation, beyond the bachelor’s level, in a particular field. All master’s degrees require a significant amount of coursework, and all also require a master’s thesis, comprehensive examination, recital, exhibit, or other capstone project or experience to attain the degree. For program tracks requiring a thesis, the thesis committee must consist of at least three faculty members, at least two of whom must come from the major department. After these minimum requirements for committee members are satisfied, additional committee members may be approved.

Master of Arts (M.A.)

The D.M.A. requires at least 60 hours of doctoral-level work and successful completion of language requirements and disciplinary examinations, at the discretion of the Moores School of Music.
