| An
applicant must declare a concentration in one of the four areas
previously listed. Admission, if granted, is for that concentration
only. If a student later wishes to change to another concentration, the
student must petition the graduate faculty in music for approval. Each
student will have a principal adviser who must be a member of the music
department’s graduate faculty. An application will be denied if it is
determined that no principal adviser in the applicant’s area of
interest is available on the music department’s graduate faculty.
Degree Requirements
This degree requires an emphasis on ethnomusicology
courses for students who are not concentrating in the area of
ethnomusicology. This emphasis ensures that all PhD graduates will be
able to teach introductory courses in world music. Requirements for
music PhD students also include MUS 659 Seminar in College Music
Teaching, followed by supervised college teaching experiences.
The PhD student must spend three semesters in
residence (full-time work or the equivalent in credit hours) at UH Manoa
and must complete the degree within seven years.
Language Requirements. Before advancing to
candidacy, reading proficiency must be satisfactorily demonstrated as
follows:
1. Ethnomusicology--One dissertation research language and one library
research language.
2. Music Education--Language appropriate to the areas of research or
research statistics.
3. Musicology--Two European languages: German and one other language,
preferably French.
Diagnostic and Qualifying Exams. Prior to enrolling for the first semester of study,
each PhD applicant will take a diagnostic exam in music history, theory,
and the major area of research (if it is ethnomusicology) to determine
whether or not proficiency equivalent to that of a master’s level is
met in each of these areas. A successful diagnostic exam will count as
the qualifying exam in that area. Deficiencies can be made up either by
retesting or, in musicology and ethnomusicology, by completing specified
courses with a grade of B or better. Only one failure of the qualifying
exam is allowed. A retest is normally taken the next time the exam is
scheduled. Deferral of the retest must receive prior approval by the
graduate chair. (The student submits a petition to the graduate chair no
less than five weeks before the exam date.) All deficiencies must be
made up by the end of the first year.
An advisory committee, made up of three graduate music
faculty members and approved by the graduate chair, will consider the
test results in advising the student to begin the program. The
student’s principal adviser, appointed by the graduate chair, serves
as the chair of this committee.
Comprehensive Exam and Advancing to Candidacy. This
exam is given to measure the student’s readiness to begin significant
research in the selected major area of research. It is given only after
successful completion of course work, fulfillment of residency
requirements, successful completion of all language requirements, and
notice from the advisory committee that the student is judged to be
sufficiently prepared to pass this examination. This is a two-part exam
consisting of a written portion and a two-hour oral portion, passed or
failed as a whole. A student failing this exam may retake the exam once,
but this must be done within one year. Passing this exam enables the
student to begin the dissertation process and receive a certificate from
the University indicating that all requirements of the doctorate except
for the dissertation have been completed. Following the comprehensive
exam, the formation of a five-member doctoral committee, and submission
and approval of a dissertation proposal, the student is advanced to
candidacy.
After this occurs, all that remains is fieldwork (for
ethnomusicology majors only), writing of the dissertation, and the oral
defense of the dissertation.
Final Oral Examination. Basically a defense of
the dissertation, this exam is conducted by the five-member doctoral
committee, made up of graduate faculty members appointed by the music
graduate chair and approved by the Graduate Division dean. The chair of
the student’s advisory committee normally serves as the chair of the
student’s doctoral committee. At least one member must be from outside
the music department, but music department members make up the majority.
All committee members must be present at the exam. (Dissertation
proposals must be approved by this committee.) This exam is subject to
other regulations detailed in the “Graduate Education” section in
this Catalog.
The date of the final oral exam is arranged by the
student in consultation with the doctoral committee; usually, it is
during the semester in which the student has completed the dissertation
document. Copies of the document must be presented to the committee at
least two weeks prior to the examination. At the examination, the
student’s knowledge and understanding of the field of concentration is
examined based on the content of the dissertation.
