The School of Music offers four master of music degrees: the MM in music education, the MM in music therapy, the MM in performance, and the MM in theory-composition.  The MM in music education has two options, one of which is approved for North Carolina teacher licensure.  The MM in performance offers concentrations in accompanying; organ, piano, voice, strings, percussion, or wind; sacred music; woodwind or brass specialist; choral conducting; jazz; instrumental conducting; and pedagogy (piano, string, or vocal).  The MM in theory-composition offers concentrations in composition (traditional and electronic), theory, and music technology.  Students completing any of these professional degree programs achieve a broad conceptual understanding of their major area through a synthesis of theoretical and historical information. They acquire applied skills in research and performance for meaningful and effective use of this knowledge.

Admission

Applicants must meet the requirements established by the Graduate School and complete its admission process.  Applicants must have the equivalent of a bachelor of music degree from an accredited institution, a minimum average grade of B on all previous music course work, and demonstrate an acceptable level of musical accomplishment through an audition.

Prior to initial enrollment all admitted students must complete a diagnostic test in music. Deficiencies identified must be satisfied by the student without degree course credit. Portfolio admission is an option in music education and music therapy. Applicants whose programs require a thesis (music composition, theory, technology, or therapy) must submit a writing sample demonstrating their ability to successfully complete a graduate program.

The master of music degree shall be awarded only after candidates pass a comprehensive examination in music that includes the presentation of a final project. All candidates for master of music degrees participate in conducted or coached ensembles as determined by individual degree area requirements.

Information about different program area admission requirements is contained in the School of Music graduate programs booklet.
