All candidates for the M.M. in voice must meet language and diction standards in French, German, Italian, and English, which will be assessed early in their first semester of study. Students who are designated for remedial work in language and diction will be reassessed at their graduate hearing at the end of their first year and must demonstrate improvement before performing their recital.
