Submitted by Jazz at UNT on Thu, 10/05/2006 - 5:09pm

On Sept. 21, 2006, the UNT Graduate Council approved a major revision in the Master of Music in Jazz Studies.

The revised degree has three tracks: Performance, Composition/Arranging, and Pedagogy. There is a core set of requirements for students in all of the tracks. Each track has different requirements for the remainder of the degree. The most significant change is the addition of applied study in the jazz idiom in all three tracks.

More details are available in a document linked to the degrees page.
