Um, I’m not convinced that the above statement that you need a master’s degree to obtain a PhD in theory is true. I think this, because we’re talking about a PhD and not a DMA, works differently than other music majors. If nothing else, I found a member of the theory department who appears to have just a BA and a PhD. Oh yeah, he’s also the chair of Eastman’s theory department, not just any professor…
