The degree of Doctor of Musical Arts is offered in the specific fields of church music (organ or choral conducting emphasis). It is intended as a recognition of high professional attainment. Since only exceptionally well-qualified candidates are admitted to the program, the doctoral studies are devoted primarily to developing professional qualifications for teaching at the college level.

The applicant is expected to have a master’s degree, or its demonstrated equivalent, in the proposed field. In addition to official transcripts and letters of recommendation, all applicants should submit résumés of their training and experience in teaching and performing.
