3.08 Master's degree plan

Each student in the master's program must file a degree plan once they have earned 12 graduate hours towards the degree. Srudents are invited to file it before then as well.

Students will need a copy of the letter or email that stated their jazz studies leveling courses assigned after the review of their transcript and the results of their GPE exams (which is in the gradebook of the GPE organization on Canvas). If they do not have those documents, they can request copies from the Office of Graduate Studies. They'll also need to refer to tjeor transcript.

The degree plan form is a PDF that you type into in Adobe Reader or Acrobat, then submit. It might not work correctly if you do it in another PDF reader or in a browser. This is the degree plan PDF.

At the same time students submit the degree plan form, they must also submit the Committee Designation Form, which is linked to this page on the Graduate Studies site. While they completing this form, students can enter the following:

  • For Degree Sought, enter: M.M.
  • For Major, enter: Jazz Studies;
  • Leave Related Field blank.

The committee members are the student's major professor(s), the department chair, and a full-time jazz studies faculty member, preferably an individual you have had classes with.
