PERFORMER'S CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
The Department of Music offers the Performer's Certificate program as a full-time course of study designed for promising performers who need intensive training on their instrument or voice in order to enhance their employment opportunities or to prepare for graduate studies. Although a baccalaureate degree is not required for admission, applicants must meet the performance level which is required for graduation from the undergraduate performance program. Since this is a special program and not a standard degree, no academic credit is given. If academic credit is desired, the regular tuition costs will apply.
This program prepares students to enter the following occupations:
27-2042.01 Singers
27-2042.02 Musicians, Instrumental
Many students in this program do not go into careers right away, but rather plan to attend graduate school.
