Doctor of Musical Arts in Church Music

Doctor of Philosophy in Church Music

The purpose of the Doctor of Musical Arts in Church Music and the Doctor of Philosophy in Church Music degrees is to bring the doctoral student to the highest levels of development in church music. The emphasis on the Ph.D. is creative scholarship; the emphasis on the D.M.A. is performance.

Admission Requirements

Prerequisites

A prerequisite for either doctoral degree is a master’s degree from an accredited college, university, or seminary whose requirements approximate those of the Master of Music degree at Southwestern Seminary, and a minimum grade point average of 3.30.

The doctoral applicant in conducting and music ministry is encouraged to have had practical or professional experience in their field after master’s-level work and before formally beginning the doctoral degree.

Application

Prospective doctoral students who have never attended Southwestern Seminary or who have not been enrolled in at least five years will submit a general seminary application to the Office of Admissions. In addition, students pursuing a doctoral degree will submit a doctoral application through the office of the Associate Dean, Academic Division.

For entrance in a fall semester the application should ideally be received by April 1 and for entrance in a spring semester by November 1. All required supporting documents (e.g., test scores, letters of recommendation), which will be reviewed by the Advanced Studies Committee, must be received before an applicant can be formally admitted to the program.

Once the Advanced Studies Committee has accepted a student into the School of Church Music, the Director of Admissions will confirm admission to Southwestern Seminary.

GRE

An application must include a recent report (within five years) of the Graduate Record Examinations General Test. While there are no minimum scores for the GRE, there is an expectation of 500 in the verbal area and 500 in the quantitative or analytical area or a sum of 1000 in all areas of the General Test. Information about the GRE may be obtained from the Educational Testing Service (www.ets.org/gre).

English Requirements

Non-US citizens whose first language is not English will be required to take the Internet-Based Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL iBT) and achieve a minimum score of 100 (or 600 on the Paper-Based Test).  Applicants not achieving the minimum score may be admitted provisionally.  Non-US citizens who have successfully completed an accredited English-language based undergraduate degree from a North American institution are exempt from this requirement as are those who have completed an M.M. degree at Southwestern Seminary.  If English deficiencies are discovered, proficiency courses may be required.

Interview

An applicant for a doctoral degree must be interviewed by the Advanced Studies Committee before final approval for admission can be granted. Ideally, the interview should be held on campus, but interviews via conference call are permissible.

Concentrations

The prospective doctoral student will indicate an intended concentration. The following concentrations are available on the D.M.A:

 
  • composition
  • piano pedagogy
  • voice pedagogy
  • organ performance
 
  • conducting
  • piano performance
  • voice performance
 

The following concentrations are available on the Ph.D.:

 
  • music ministry
  • music theory
  • musicology

 

Auditions / Evidence of Scholarship

Applicants for the D.M.A. degree will perform an audition before the faculty of the proposed department of concentration. This audition may be performed at the time the applicant is on campus for the interview or during orientation. Applicants for the Ph.D. degree will submit evidence of their research and writing.

The D.M.A. student who expects to concentrate in piano or organ will be required to play a thirty- to forty-minute entrance audition. The repertoire should represent a contrast of styles and should reflect a level of achievement equivalent to a master’s degree recital.

The D.M.A. student who expects to concentrate in voice should arrive on campus in time to confer about an accompanist and have sufficient time to prepare the literature for the audition before the voice faculty. The audition material will consist of six songs from memory: three art songs (one in German, one in Italian, and one in French), one contemporary art song in English, one opera aria in its original language, and one oratorio aria in English. If approval is granted, a thirty-minute jury performance at the end of the first semester will qualify the student for continuation in the voice concentration on the D.M.A. degree.

The D.M.A. student who expects to concentrate in conducting may be required to give an entrance recital within the first fifteen hours of course work if the master’s degree did not include a master’s-level recital.

The D.M.A. student who expects to concentrate in composition will submit a list of compositions completed and a representative group of scores and recordings to be evaluated by the composition department.

Each applicant for the Ph.D. will be required to submit a research document either previously prepared or prepared especially for the Ph.D. application. This document should reflect the applicant’s highest level of scholarship.

Continuation in the Program

The Advanced Studies Committee and the faculty of the School of Church Music reserve the right to decline to admit, or to continue as a student, any person who fails to meet established qualifications.

The Advanced Studies Committee of the School of Church Music publishes a Manual for Doctoral Studies in Music that provides detailed information about the D.M.A. and Ph.D. programs. Doctoral students are required to follow the most recent edition of the manual.

Continued Enrollment

Doctoral students must enroll in the fall and spring semesters each year and pay enrollment fees from the time they begin their program until they graduate or withdraw from the program. Doctoral students who are not enrolled in regular course work, Doctoral Research and Writing, or doctoral examinations must enroll in MUMIN 8100, Doctoral Continued Enrollment.

Time Limit

The D.M.A. or Ph.D. degree must be completed within a period of seven years from the time of admission. Extension may be granted in the case of foreign missionaries.

Review of Status

The total record of a student is subject to review each semester of enrollment. After fourteen hours of graduate course work, the Advanced Studies Committee will officially review the status of the student’s course of study to determine whether or not that student may continue in the doctoral program.

Grades

Doctoral students must maintain an overall grade point average of 3.30.

Language Requirements

All doctoral students must show satisfactory ability to translate German and any other language that might be required by the field of the dissertation. Courses are available to prepare the student for the doctoral German reading examination. Students who have not passed the German reading examination by the time they have completed fourteen hours of doctoral seminars may enroll only for Continued Enrollment (MUMIN 8100) until the German language requirement has been completed. The German reading examination may be taken any number of times that the committee feels is within reason.

Ph.D. students and D.M.A. students in conducting are required to pass a reading examination in a second foreign language. In most cases, this will be French, but may, by approval of the Advanced Studies Committee, be another language more appropriate to the student’s area of dissertation research. This second language exam must be passed before the Advanced Studies Committee gives approval to the dissertation prospectus.

Residence Requirements

Two consecutive semesters in which the student satisfactorily completes a specified number of hours of graduate course work will satisfy the residence requirements of the institution. For academic concentrations, this is 18 hours; for performance concentrations, it is 16 hours.

Approval for Graduation

The Advanced Studies Committee and the general faculty each reserve the right and authority to refuse to approve a candidate for graduation for reasons the committee or the general faculty, in the sole discretion of each, deems valid, even though the candidate has met the other requirements for the degree.
