3.26 DMA Qualifying Examinations

The policy for DMA qualifying exams is stated on the Graduate Studies website. Please be aware that for part of your qualifying exams, you will be expected to demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of jazz history and repertoire, jazz analysis, and jazz pedagogy. Student should work with their major professor(s) beginning in their first semester to prepare for those parts of the exam. Work with the Jazz Division Coordinator of Graduate Studies to prepare for other parts of the exam. In other words, you are responsible for knowing more than the topic of your dissertation research.
