related fields, in accordance with M.A.requirements set by the Graduate School. Inaddition to course requirements, Plan Arequires a thesis and thesis credits; Plan Brequires a Plan B paper.Language Requirements—The M.A.program requires knowledge of one languagenot native to the student. Mechanisms fordemonstrating knowledge are described inthe program’s Graduate Student Handbook.

Final Exam—The final exam is oral.Minor Requirements for StudentsMajoring in Other Fields—Coursesrequired for a master’s minor in linguisticsare Ling 5001 (4 cr), 4002 (3 cr), and either5201 (3 cr) or 5301 (4 cr). Students who havehad these courses or their equivalents asundergraduates can substitute otherlinguistics courses. The M.A. minor requiresat least 9 credits.

Ph.D. Degree RequirementsThe Ph.D. program focuses on theoreticalissues in core areas of language structure(phonology, syntax, semantics/pragmatics),language acquisition (first and second), andlanguage/discourse processing (cognitiveprocesses that underlie language use). Theprogram especially emphasizes research thatintegrates core areas of theoretical linguisticswith language acquisition or processing.For the Ph.D., no minimum number ofcredits is required besides the 12 credits inrelated fields and 24 thesis credits. However,all Ph.D. students are expected to completeM.A. course requirements (30 credits or less,depending on prior coursework inlinguistics), a second-semester course in fieldmethods (3 credits), and an individualizedplan of study (including at least three 8xxxcourses) to be determined in consultationwith the student’s committee. Uponcompletion of required coursework, studentsmust pass a preliminary written exam inphonology, syntax, and their primary andsecondary areas of concentration. Papersjudged to be of near publishable quality bythe student’s committee can be substitutedfor exam questions in any of these areas. Thepreliminary oral exam is a presentation anddefense of a research paper-lengthdissertation prospectus, which introduces andmotivates the student’s dissertation topic andprovides a detailed plan for completion of thedissertation.Language Requirements—The Ph.D.degree requires knowledge of two languagesnot native to the student. Mechanisms fordemonstrating such knowledge are describedin the program’s Graduate StudentHandbook.Minor Requirements for StudentsMajoring in Other Fields—The doctoralminor requires at least 15 credits (fivecourses). Students who have had no priorcoursework in linguistics must take sixcourses approved by the director of graduatestudies, including the three courses requiredfor the M.A. minor: Ling 5001, 4002 andeither 5201, and 5301. Students who have

taken 5001 or its equivalent asundergraduates do not have to substituteanother course.

Curriculum—The minor in literacy andrhetorical studies (LRS) was created toprovide a forum for students and facultyinterested in various facets of writing andcommunication. By crafting an

individualized program of study includingliteracy theory and practice, researchmethods, and historical inquiry, students cancomplement their disciplinary degree andthereby open up new perspectives for theirteaching and research. Students develop aninterdisciplinary program of study inconsultation with their major adviser(preferably one of the faculty above), thedirector of graduate studies in their major,and the director of graduate studies in LRS.Prerequisites for Admission—Admission iscontingent upon enrollment in good standingin a relevant doctoral or master’s programwithin the Graduate School of the University.Special Application Requirements—Admission is competitive and restricted to anumber that will allow for a qualityexperience. Entrance to the minor is grantedonly by permission of the director ofgraduate studies in LRS and the facultyselection committee. Application materialsinclude a completed application form,statement of purpose, curriculum vitae,relevant post-secondary transcripts, and twoletters of recommendation. Deadlines forapplication materials are October 15 andMarch 15, although applications will bereviewed on a rolling basis.Courses—Please contact the minor programoffice for information on relevant courseworkpertaining to the program.Use of 4xxx Courses—Use of 4xxx coursestoward degree requirements is permitted withapproval from the director of graduatestudies.

Minor Only RequirementsA master’s minor requires three graduatecourses or seminars (9 credits minimum) andone course from each of the followingcategories: 1) literacy theory or practice,including pedagogy; 2) research methods andpractices in one of the areas of the minor; and3) a historical topic, e.g., history of the book,or of rhetoric, or of literacy. Students mustalso write a substantial paper that emergesfrom one of the three courses.A doctoral minor requires four graduatecourses or seminars (12 credits minimum).Three courses must be in each of thecategories enumerated above for the master’sminor. In addition, after those three courseshave been completed, students must takeeither a capstone writing seminar specificallyoffered for the minor, or a seminar thatinvolves a substantial term paper or acompleted dissertation chapter on a topicrelated to the minor.In order to make the minor interdisciplinary,no more than one of the three courses at themaster’s level, or one of the four courses atthe doctoral level may be from the student’shome department.Language Requirements—None.

Final Exam—A final oral exam is requiredthat covers coursework and the final projectand/or recital.

D.M.A. Degree RequirementsFor the doctor of musical arts, minimumcredit requirements are as follows: 89 creditsfor piano; 85 credits for instrumental perfor-mance, guitar, and conducting; 87 credits fororgan and woodwinds; 89 credits for voice;and 93 credits for accompanying andcoaching.The School of Music offers two options forD.M.A. degrees.The first option requires the minimum creditsas outlined above, typically divided asfollows: 32 credits of applied study; 12credits in musicology/ethnomusicology andtheory/composition, with at least one 3-creditcourse in each area; a minimum of 8 creditsdirectly related to the emphasis (literature,pedagogy, performance practice, conducting,secondary instrument, chamber music, etc.);9 credits in a supporting program outside ofmusic; 20 recital credits for five recitals; and4 thesis credits for the D.M.A. projectdocument.The second option allows students to choosea secondary area of concentration to becomeprofessionally prepared in an area thatcomplements the performance major. Thesecondary area option requires the approvalof the student’s adviser and of the director ofgraduate studies, and is limited to secondaryareas approved by the Graduate Committeeof the School of Music. Under this option,students perform three doctoral recitalsinstead of five (12 credits total, at 4 creditseach). The remaining requirements are thesame as in the first option for a D.M.A.Students must also fulfill the requirementsfor a secondary area as described below.

Criteria for Secondary AreasA secondary area comprises a minimum of15 credits in total—normally five 3-creditcourses, at least two of which must be 8xxxcourses. Students choosing this option applythe 8 credits that result from reducing thenumber of doctoral recitals from five to threetoward the secondary area. The remainingcredits are derived principally from the otherareas of music study already built into theD.M.A.—the areas of musicology, theory,pedagogy, etc. The distribution of thesecredits depends upon the specific secondaryarea chosen.A secondary area concentrates either on asingle discipline—e.g., musicology, musictheory, composition, or choral conducting—or on an interrelated body of courses—e.g.,technology and music, or pedagogy. All 15credits of a secondary area must be achievedat the University of Minnesota School ofMusic (i.e., no transfer credits or credits fromoutside of the School of Music can be used).Students who choose a secondary area areencouraged but not obligated to write theirthesis in that area. A list of secondary areasand their course requirements is availableupon request from the Graduate StudiesOffice of the School of Music.

Language Requirements—The D.M.A.with emphasis in accompanying andcoaching requires two languages chosen fromFrench, German, and Italian; the emphasis inconducting requires German and eitherFrench or Italian.

Ph.D. Degree RequirementsFor the doctor of philosophy in music,emphases and minimum course creditrequirements are as follows: 51 credits formusicology, ethnomusicology, and theory;65 credits for composition; and 66 credits formusic education. Programs are individualizedand build on the core of coursework requiredfor the corresponding master’s degrees.Coursework includes 12-18 credits outsidethe major. In addition, 24 thesis credits arerequired.Language Requirements—The languagerequirement for each emphasis is as follows:Musicology, ethnomusicology, andcomposition—Two languages chosen fromFrench, German, and Italian (substitutionmay be made when a different language isneeded for the thesis. For composition, onelanguage may also, with approval, bereplaced by a collateral field of knowledge ora special research technique).Theory—German and either French or Italian(substitution may be made when a differentlanguage is needed for the thesis; withapproval, the second language may also bereplaced by a collateral field of knowledge ora special research technique).

Along with the program-specificrequirements listed below, please read theGeneral Information section of this catalogfor Graduate School requirements that applyto all major fields.Curriculum—Neuroscience is aninterdisciplinary field of inquiry. The objectsof this inquiry, the brain and nervous system,are sufficiently complex and unique amongbiological systems to require experimentaland analytical approaches that cross thetraditional boundaries of molecular and cellbiology, behavioral biology, biochemistry,genetics, pharmacology, physiology, andpsychology. In some instances,neuroscientific inquiry may also encompasscomputer science, information processing,engineering, physics, and mathematics.The neuroscience Ph.D. curriculum begins inthe summer session with the intensivelaboratory course in cellular and molecularneurobiology (NSc 5551), held at the LakeItasca Biological Station. The corecurriculum continues on the Twin Citiescampus with NSc 5461, 5481, 5561, 5661,and 8211. While taking these courses,students explore research opportunities in thefaculty’s laboratories (NSc 8334) and therebyselect a thesis adviser. Most students take acourse in cell biology (such as Biol 4004) inthe first semester. Because thesis research isexpected to include statistical analysis ofdata, a course in statistics (such as Stat 5021)is required.Elective courses and at least 12 credits in aminor or supporting program are selected inconsultation with the adviser (typical minorsinclude cell biology, physiology, statistics,psychology, and medicine; medicine isprimarily for students in the M.D./Ph.D.program). Students with sufficientbackground and previous course experiencemay apply for a waiver of specificrequirements. Proficiency in at least onecomputer programming language is highlyrecommended.Students are also expected to participate inteaching neuroscience and to attend theweekly colloquium as well as neuroscienceseminars and sessions devoted to professionaldevelopment. Students are stronglyencouraged to attend seminars in other areasand departments that may interest them.

Along with the program-specificrequirements listed below, please read theGeneral Information section of this catalogfor Graduate School requirements that applyto all major fields.Curriculum—The Department ofPhilosophy offers both Ph.D. and M.A.degrees. Students are generally admitted tothe Ph.D. program, while admission to theM.A. is generally intended for those withprofessional goals in other fields.Philosophy is noteworthy for its emphasis onthe individual student’s research interests.With the help of an adviser, students designtheir own program of study, which consists ofthe philosophy major and either a supportingprogram or a minor. The minor or supportingprogram, drawn at least in part from adepartment or departments other thanphilosophy, complements the student’sresearch focus. Students gain a broad base ofknowledge through required coursework.Ph.D. students take courses in four mainareas: history of philosophy, logic, ELMS(epistemology, philosophy of language,metaphysics, philosophy of science), andvalue theory. These areas provide a firmfoundation for research and teaching beyondthe Ph.D. program.
