This
chart models normal progress through the program. Students entering
with a M.A. in musicology typically begin the plan with the second
year. Satisfactory progress through the program is one of the requirements
for continuing graduate student financial support, including teaching
assistantships and dissertation fellowships; all funding is necessarily
competitive, and awards are determined through the deliberations
of the entire musicology faculty. Note: no graduate exams will be
scheduled between June 15 and September 15.
