Graduate
Programs General. The graduate programs in Music Education, Teaching, Conducting, and Opera Theater are unified five-year programs of study which culminate in the award of both an undergraduate and graduate degree. They are not graduate programs of study for the student who has already completed an undergraduate degree at Oberlin or elsewhere. The graduate programs in Historical Performance, however, can be pursued by persons who hold a Bachelor's Degree from Oberlin or other institutions. Graduate Studies Committee. This committee, which administers the graduate study programs, is comprised of a representative from each department awarding a graduate degree and from each department awarding the associated undergraduate degree, plus a representative from the administration. The committee is responsible to the Conservatory faculty for all graduate degree programs, their curricula and interrelationship, and is responsible for admissions to graduate programs as well as for certification of completion of graduate degree requirements. Graduate Listening Exam. The faculty of each Division (Vocal Studies, Conducting and Ensembles, and Music Education) will construct and administer a listening exam each year to be taken by the fifth-year Master of Music degree students of the Division. The faculty will choose pieces from a Common Listening List and a list compiled by the faculty of the Division. At least 50% (or 15 examples) will be chosen from the Common List. Copies of the listening lists and tapes of the materials will be available in the Library. The exam will be offered twice each year (November and April). The exam may be retaken until successfully passed. Any student failing the exam will be given a written appraisal of the areas of weakness that led to the failure. The exam must be passed before the Degree will be granted. |
