Graduate programs
Note that graduate students begin with an interim advisor who serves to provide general mentorship and guidance on course and research related matters. By the end of the first year the program supervisor (or advisor, for the MA course-based route) must be selected, along with the supervisory committee (comprising two additional faculty members) for doctoral students. See the FGSR graduate program manual for more details on supervision.

- The Supervisor
- Language requirement. Please begin planning to meet this requirement as early as possible in your program. Note recent changes in the language requirement:
- MLCS will now be providing the text to be translated-music graduate supervisors no longer need to do this
- Students can only write the exam twice. If a student doesn’t pass after a second attempt, coursework will be required.
- Ethics:
- Please note that all graduate students must complete the Ethics training for Music graduate students.
- Prior to conducting research you may be required to receive University of Alberta Research Ethics Board approval.
Check the Arts, Science, and Law Research Ethics Board web site for information and forms.
