Comprehensive Exams
Each student will be evaluated to ensure achievement of program outcomes. This evaluation may be in the form
of a comprehensive exam or other measurement tools. If unsatisfactory, after corrective action, the evaluation
may be repeated up to two (2) times. Eligibility for graduation is contingent upon successful completion of the
degree requirements specified by both the University and the Department of Music, including (1) Completion of
