Normally a grade of B
or better is expected in all coursework. No grade below B is acceptable in the
student's performance specialty. After each semester, the Artistic Standing
Committee (representing the Mason Gross School of the Arts graduate program)
reviews a student's grades. If the committee determines that the student is not
maintaining satisfactory academic or professional standards in any phase of the
program, it may recommend that the student be required to terminate his or her
studies and withdraw from the Mason Gross School of the Arts. Dismissals for
academic reasons may be appealed in writing to the Scholastic Standing
Committee. Artistic dismissal can be appealed
to the dean of Mason Gross.Only 3 credits of C
work are accepted toward the master of music (M.M.) degree. A maximum of 6
credits in 300- or 400-level courses may be counted toward the degree.
