How long does it typically take to get a DMA?

Also, what's typically involved (Thesis paper, recital, etc.)?

2.5 to 3 years is typical to complete a DMA.

Most programs require 3-4 recitals, and a dissertation/DMA Essay.

Some schools such as Yale do not require a final project. To be granted the DMA, the student has to go out into the real world and make a significant contribution to the field. After winning a job, or establishing a national reputation, the DMA can then be awarded.
