Program requirements:
There are two programs available to the student admitted to the MA. Students must declare which program they intend to follow at the beginning of their graduate studies. Any student wishing to change program must seek the approval of the graduate committee.
- Thesis-based MA: The thesis-based program consists of a minimum of eight graduate-level courses (*24) (including MUSIC 614, 650 and 665, plus *15 in options), and a thesis.
- Course-based MA: The course-based program consists of a minimum of nine graduate-level courses (*27), (including MUSIC 614, 650 and 665, and *18 in options), and in addition, an oral research presentation in the Department of Music (MUSIC 903, 906, or 909 Directed Research Project).
Note that certain scholarships are only available to students enrolled in the thesis-based program.
In addition to the above requirements, MUSIC 505 may be required of entering students in both program routes if they have not demonstrated competency in bibliographic and research-methods skills in their previous studies. This course will not count towards the credit requirements as listed above.
All MA students are required to demonstrate a reading knowledge of French or German, or another language other than English, appropriate to the area of research (for instance, a language to be used in your field research) and approved by the student's supervisor. This requirement will normally be completed before the thesis or capping project is undertaken. Coursework undertaken to satisfy this requirement will not be credited toward the program.
NB: Please note that all graduate students must complete the Ethics training for Music graduate students.
Most students complete their course work and thesis within two years. Fieldwork research is expected, however is often performed locally in Edmonton.
