Nine semester hours of graduate courses is considered full time. It is
possible for full-time graduate students in residence to complete the degree
program in one year. It is suggested that the optimal course load will be
as follows:
-
Fall . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 hours
-
Spring . . . . . . . . . . . . 12 hours
-
Summer . . . . . . . . . . .10 hours
In addition to this traditional approach to scheduling, courses will be
offered so that non-traditional students may attend classes one day a week
(specifically Thursday for MCM degree) and evening classes to accommodate
"full-time professionals" (for MM-ME degree) and complete course requirements
over a two-year period.
Another option includes the modular two-week “J-term” summer courses offered
each June and July. Distance students may complete course requirements over a
three-year period using other creative options during the regular academic
calendar to meet Music Elective, Ministerial Elective and Advanced Technical
Music Studies requirements. |
