A Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology, Music Theory and Music Education is offered in addition to a Doctor of Education and a Doctor of Musical Arts in composition or performance.
Besides the degrees, music offers students a chance for varied experiences. The School of Fine
Arts and the Department of Speech and Drama combine to present musicals, opera and operetta in University Theatre.
This year the production of "Die Fledermaus" by Johann Strauss is being done through these combined efforts. Second
semester this combination will again take shape to present "The Three Penny Opera."
In 1966, KU specifically commissioned the opera "Carry Nation," which has appeared on Broadway, to commemorate the Centennial celebration. Presented before a full house, all roles except the four leads were sung by KU students.
Students in music have the chance to perform in the University Symphony Orchestra, the University Concert Band, Varsity Band, Marching Band and the Little Symphony, the University String Quartet and the University Woodwind Quintet.
Voice students may display their talents through the Concert Choir, the Chorale, the Chamber Choir and the Brass Choir.
Other degrees in the School of Fine Arts are: Bachelor of Fine Arts, Art Education and Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy.
Those students who take a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree may take their majors in ceramics, commercial art, design, drawing and painting, fashion illustration, history of art, industrial design, interior design, jewelry and silversmithing, print making, sculpture, textile design in weaving, theatre design and theatre and voice.
Graduate study in art makes available a Master of Fine Arts degree in Design or Drawing and Painting, Master of Arts in History of Art or Art Education, Master of Science in Education with a minor in Art Education and doctorate programs in art education.
In the Department of Design, candidates for degrees are required to have individual showings of their work three weeks before graduation. Students must also leave two pieces of their original work to the School of Fine Arts.
The work of the students in drawing and painting is left under the control of the instructor until after the annual commencement week student exhibition. Candidates for degrees may be required to leave two or more pieces of original work to the School which are added to the permanent collection and exhibits of graduates and former students
