Available within the Faculty of Arts are a major and a minor concentration in Music.

Arts students may also apply to the other music minors (Music Composition; Music Education; Music History; Music Theory; Musical Applications of Technology; and Musical Science and Technology) as long as they have the necessary music prerequisites.

These programs are intended for students who have at least high school matriculation or the equivalent. Students without the formal music prerequisites must speak with a Music Adviser prior to registration. Visit the Music Program website for more information.

B.A. students should consult with an Arts OASIS Adviser and the B.A. Music Adviser to ensure that they have the necessary prerequisites prior to applying to the music programs. Arts students may be advised to write placement examinations in music theory, music history, musicianship, and/or keyboard proficiency before they begin the music programs.

Admission to the B.A. program is granted according to criteria established by the Faculty of Arts. For more information, see:

• Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Music (18 credits);
• Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration Music (36 credits).

Undergraduate students interested in a more intensive music program, including practical instruction on an instrument or in voice and additional ensemble participation, should consider the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) degree or the Licentiate program (L.Mus.) offered by the Schulich School of Music; see Schulich School of Music > Undergraduate > Overview of Programs > Degrees and Diplomas Offered.

All Â鶹AV students enrolled in a degree program may audition for a variety of ensembles offered through the Schulich School of Music. The majority of the ensemble auditions take place only once a year, generally during the first week of September. If you pass the audition, you may participate in the assigned ensemble(s). Consult with your home faculty adviser to determine if you may apply the ensemble credits toward your degree. The schedule and requirements for ensemble auditions are available on the Ensemble website.

The music courses referred to below are open to students from other faculties who are not necessarily enrolled in a music program. Consult with your home faculty adviser to see how these courses may fit into your program.

These are considered to be general music courses taught in the Faculty of Arts, but cannot be credited toward the B.Mus., L.Mus., or B.A. Major or Minor Concentration in Music programs.

MUPD and MUSR Courses

These are courses designed for all students who wish to acquire the business know-how in a music profession or to learn about audio recording.
