Doctoral Project

Course open to Music School students only.
The Doctoral Project, beginning with intensive
independent research and experimentation, and
culminating in the creation of several distinct,
yet interconnected components, prepares
candidates for a noticeable emergence into the
larger arts' community. The project is comprised
of coordinated components that synthesize
performance and composition elements while
documenting their significance and originality.
Each component must be completed with rigor and
must score well on specific rubrics for each
part. A Final Review concludes this process, at
which time candidates are expected to have met
all DMA Program Learning Outcomes.
