Students are responsible for informing them­selves of all graduate degree requirements, procedures, and policies. For matters about SOMD Policies & Procedures and general graduate degree advising, students may seek advising from the SOMD Graduate Office. For matters pertaining to degree progress and curriculum specific to the major, students should consult with their faculty advisor.

During the student’s degree program, students will collaborate with the Graduate Advisor (gradmus@uoregon.edu) and their faculty advisors to determine the appropriate courses based on degree requirements. Faculty advisors are:

  • Musicology: The area chair will assign the appropriate faculty advisor.
  • Music Theory: The area chair will assign the appropriate faculty advisor.
  • Intermedia Music Technology & Data-Driven Instruments: Music technology area chair.
  • Music Composition: The area chair will assign the appropriate faculty advisor.
  • Music Education: The area chair will assign the appropriate faculty advisor.
  • Jazz Studies: Professor Paul Krueger
  • Piano Pedagogy: Grace Ho
  • Performance: Studio Instructor

Faculty advisors should be determined by the end of the first term of the student’s first year of study. Any time there is a change in faculty advisor, students must notify the SOMD Graduate Office.
