Joint Degree / Double Major
At the completion of the first term in residence at Yale, students may make application to the joint-degree program, the Master of Music in performance combined with either the concentrated Master of Arts in Religion in Liturgical Studies or the comprehensive Master of Arts in Religion. This program has the advantage of reducing by one year the total time necessary to receive two degrees. That is, these two degrees may be completed in three concurrent rather than four successive years. If accepted into the program, the student is enrolled in both the Divinity and Music Schools, beginning with the second year of study, working toward degrees in each school.
Another option for Institute students enrolled through the School of Music is the double-major degree in performance. For example, first-year students enrolled in the organ program may apply to audition for the choral conducting program or vice versa. Although study in these two programs would be undertaken concurrently and be completed in three years, the end result would be a single Master of Music degree with a double major in organ and choral conducting. As this program is not formally recognized by the Institute and School of Music, support from the major teachers must be secured and separate application made to the Academic Affairs Committee of the School of Music.
Only qualified students whose career goals and abilities prepare them for entering such rigorous programs will be considered. Further information about course work for these interdisciplinary areas may be obtained by contacting the Office of Admissions of the Institute.
