Study in
Music Performance
The Certificate of Special Study in Music Performance is intended for those
persons who wish to study an instrument or voice without matriculating for
a degree. A candidate for the certificate program should be qualified for
advanced standing (Jury II competency) in his or her specialty prior to admission.

work, to be structured on an individual basis with the approval of both the major
professor and the chair of the department. The individual program, along with
the requisite approvals, will be in writing and kept on file in the department.
The general requirements for the certificate program are:
- instruction in the student's major voice or instrument during each semester of residence
- at least one course in music theory or history
- at least one ensemble course, appropriate to the student's area of specialization, for each semester of study.
