Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)
1) Students will become critically proficient at speaking and writing about interdisciplinary issues regarding music.
2) To organize and produce written research according to the professional and stylistic protocols of the discipline. This written research must illustrate significant development in both the magnitude and quality of engagement and insight that is beyond high-level undergraduate paper writing skills. As a result, it should be able to stand either as the culmination of the student’s academic engagement with music, or constitute materials of a standard suitable to be submitted as part of an application to a musicology PhD program.
3) To learn to make effective written summaries and engaging and cogent verbal communication of the results of academic research and intellectual speculation. The aim is of becoming proficient in, on the one hand, the skills necessary for writing abstracts and fellowship applications, and on the other hand, in order to practice the art of giving conference papers, job talks, participating in public intellectual work, and related endeavors.
4) Understand methodologies useful in the analysis of musical experience and communicate this understanding within the modes of discourse common to music theory and analysis.
