As the PhD is granted based on innovative, original contributions rather than simply finishing coursework, the program doesn't impose strict course requirements. Students must complete two years of academic residency. The duration to earn a PhD differs significantly among candidates, though they're urged to progress as quickly as their research permits. Typically, students entering with an MA should complete necessary coursework, meet additional requirements, pass qualifying exams, achieve candidacy status, and finalize their dissertation proposal within two years. Beyond this period, the sole obligation is successfully completing the doctoral dissertation.
Ethnomusicology students train in ethnographic research methods by examining cultural theories and methodologies across disciplines. Working closely with advisors, each student develops a personalized program that leverages Berkeley's extensive resources in interdisciplinary and regional studies.

The following minimum requirements apply to all graduate programs and will be verified by the Graduate Division:
A bachelor's degree or recognized equivalent from an accredited institution,
A grade point average of B or better (3.0),
If the applicant comes from a country or political entity (e.g., Quebec) where English is not the official language, adequate proficiency in English to do graduate work, as evidenced by a TOEFL score of at least 90 on the iBT test, 570 on the paper-and-pencil test, or an IELTS Band score of at least 7 on a 9-point scale (note that individual programs may set higher levels for any of these), and
Sufficient undergraduate training to do graduate work in the given field. Transcripts: Applicants may upload unofficial transcripts with your application for the departmental initial review. If the applicant is admitted, then official transcripts of all college-level work will be required. Letters of recommendation: Applicants may request online letters of recommendation through the online application system. Hard copies of recommendation letters must be sent directly to the program, not the Graduate Division. An audition is not required. Applicants who would like to visit the department should contact faculty members in their field of interest directly.
