Doctor of Musical Arts
- Performance
The Doctor of Musical Arts is a 90-credit, residential degree program delivered at the University of Florida. This DMA program may include up to 30 graduate credits officially transferred from a master's degree. This uniquely designed program is set to prepare highly qualified, elite musicians for both higher education and artistic job markets. The degree is distinguished by the requirement of a cognate (to be determined by the end of the first year) in a discipline outside of Music, such as Engineering, Entrepreneurship, Management, Arts in Medicine, Digital Media, or other areas suitable for interdisciplinary partnership. Cognates can be selected from a number of graduate programs across the UF campus, and a comprehensive list of graduate certificate programs is available on the Graduate School website.
- Placement exams for music history and theory are offered prior to the first semester. Students who do not place out of review courses, may use these for electives within the DMA.
- Students may have no more than 30 master's courses evaluated for transfer to the DMA program.
- Students present three degree recitals (typically one each spring). Each recital should have 60-75 minutes of music, which must include one work by a living composer.
- All students will collaborate with a composer and premiere at least one new composition during the DMA degree. The composer can be a student composer at UF or another institution, or a professional composer anywhere in the world. Students are encouraged to seek grant funding to commission a new work. The chair of the supervisory committee and the composition faculty can help facilitate contact with composers and granting organizations.
- If approved by the student's supervisory chair, one of the three recitals may be a chamber or a lecture recital.
Capstone experiences for the degree include a written exam; an oral examination, including a prepared lecture; and a doctoral project defense to assimilate applied music and cognate disciplines.

The graduate coursework taken in a discipline outside the School of Music may include an internship.

Questions will focus on the synthesis and application of knowledge rather than on recall of information. The oral examination, including a prepared lecture, is undertaken only after successful passage of the written final examination. The doctoral project entails a creative presentation and an accompanying document detailing the assimilation of the music discipline and the outside cognate. This should happen no later than the beginning of the semester prior to the one during which the doctoral project will be undertaken. The doctoral project is intended to outline, detail, and summarize the topic, assimilating the candidate’s primary music discipline and his/her cognate discipline.

CoursesCreditsMUS 7980 Research for Doctoral Dissertation15- History, Literature, Ethnomusicology
The PhD in Music with a concentration in Music History & Literature offers two specializations and three cognates: Historical Musicology or Ethnomusicology. Within these two specializations, graduate students will choose to complete coursework in a performance or conducting cognate, or an interdisciplinary cognate. For the performance or conducting cognate an audition is required for formal acceptance into the graduate studio. Students who select the performance or conducting cognate will take at least six elective credits from outside the School of Music.
Doctoral students may have no more than 30 master's courses evaluated for transfer to the PhD program. The full Graduate School Transfer of Credit policy is available online in the Graduate Catalog. The academic program plans below may vary slightly according to the individual transfer review.
Both specializations require reading and/or speaking knowledge of two appropriate foreign languages, related to research interests.
(The specializations and cognates are school designations and do not appear on the University of Florida transcript or diploma. Along with the degree, the major of Music with the concentration in Music History & Literature appears on the transcript; the Doctor of Philosophy degree with the major in Music appears on the diploma.)
