| DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS |
|
| |
| Overview |
| CTU offers the D.M.A. degree (for those who have previously completed the Master's degree) in composition, conducting and other musical performance area. The program provides the students with a solid mastery of their discipline while cultivating a sense of intellectual and creative independence. Students are free to explore related fields of study both within the music program itself and in the larger university. They are supported in their studies by both fellowships and teaching opportunities. |
| |
| Introduction |
| Since the D.M.A. degree is awarded for original, creative achievement, not for the mere completion of a course of study, course and unit requirements are not rigidly prescribed. There is an academic residence requirement of two years. The amount of time needed to complete the D.M.A. varies considerably from one student to another, but students are encouraged to proceed as fast as they can and as the nature of their doctoral project allows. It is expected that the typical student (having obtained an M.A. /M.M. Degree) will have pursued sufficient course work, fulfilled all the supplementary requirements, and taken the qualifying examination by the end of two years. By the end of the following semester, students complete a prospectus for the doctoral project and are advanced to doctoral candidacy. After this the only requirement is that the student satisfactorily completes the doctoral project. |
