Modeling and Simulation (M&S) is a modern language in science. It is based on MUSIC MM the fundamental notion that science proceeds from models that approximate the real world. Simulation permits repeated observation from these models, often coupled with MUSIC EDUCATION MM visual representation of quantitative data, which in turn permits analysis (drawing con- (DISCIPLINE-BASED) clusions, verifying and validating those conclusions, and making recommendations based on those conclusions). This Graduate Certificate provides a basic grounding in College of Arts & Humanities the concepts of modeling and simulation, an opportunity to develop a specific focus Department of Music within that field, and a demonstration of skill in applying those concepts. 202 Earley Center for Performing Arts • 507-389-2118

Common Core MDSM 601 Introduction to Modeling and Simulation (4) Music graduate studies at Minnesota State University, Mankato lead to the Master of MDSM 691 Seminar in Modeling & Simulation (1) Music degree. The Master of Music degree is a professional degree, most appropri- ate for students who desire to increase their knowledge as public school teachers, to Co-Requisite teach at the college level, or to work toward their doctorate. It is also a degree useful Choose 2 credit(s): for those who perform professionally, compose, or conduct. Student may alternatively enlist in any capstone course in the discipline of student’s choice with permission of instructor of MdSm 691 Master of Music. The Master of Music is offered in three areas of concentration: Per- EE 695 Research (1-5) formance (instrumental, keyboard, or voice), Conducting (Choral or Wind Band) and EE 699 Thesis/Design Option (1-4) Music Education. A student may pursue a secondary emphasis in any of the above GEOG 694 Alternate Plan Paper (1-2) areas or in music history/theory. GEOG 699 Thesis (1-6) HLTH 699 Thesis (1-4) In addition to meeting the general admission requirements of the College of Graduate IT 694 Alternate Plan Paper (1-2) Studies and Research, all prospective graduate students in music are expected to have IT 699 Thesis (1-6) the equivalent of an undergraduate degree with a music major from an accredited MATH 699 Thesis (1-4) institution.

The student may present as his/her independent study project a Master’s recital URBS 667 Urban Studies Studio (3) or a thesis, depending on area of specialization. The Thesis Plan requires 30 credits which allows up to 3 credits outside of music. The Alternate Plan Paper requires 30 Restricted Electives Restricted Electives credits and two starred papers in place of the Thesis. Choose 5 credit(s): Choose two courses, one of at least 3 credits and one of at least 2 credits Music 600 is required for all majors and should be completed early in the program.
