About the course

It is expected that students applying to this program will have completed basic professional preparation, defined as the equivalent of three years of theory and analysis (tonal and post-tonal) and one semester of counterpoint. Students admitted into the theory MA should show proficiency equivalent to, or beyond that required to pass the equivalency examinations in tonal and post-tonal theory and analysis, ear training, counterpoint and music history for the University of Minnesota BA in music. Coursework in theory required to make up for deficiencies will not count toward the degree. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
