Every student who has been accepted to the Master of Music program must take a diagnostic exam to demonstrate their competitiveness, comparable to a fourth year of baccalaureate in music, in the areas of theory, harmony, form and analysis, and music history. If you do not pass these exams, you must take remedial courses (non-credit) in the areas in need. You must complete remedial courses before enrolling in the required theory, analysis, and history courses required in the Master of Music in Music Performance and Education program. The student who does not appear to take one or both diagnostic exams will be automatically placed in the corresponding remedial courses.

Note: The applicant must have basic knowledge of the use of technology (computer)

* Payment of the thesis fee will be paid semiannually until the student approves his or her Master's thesis. This will allow you to remain an active student. The thesis must be completed within the established maximum time of six years or twelve semesters.
