Performance Certificate

A music or musical theatre student whose curriculum requires 16 or fewer credits for the applied major may earn a Performance Certificate in recognition of achievement beyond curriculum minimums. The Performance Certificate is awarded when the student completes the repertoire requirements for the Bachelor of Music in Performance curriculum and gives a full recital. The extra repertoire and the recital must be completed while the student is enrolled in a baccalaureate-level degree program. The grade point average for the final four semesters of study, plus the recital, must be at least a 3.5.

Permission to enter Performance Certificate study is given at special screening juries. Information on timing, content, and required level of achievement for these juries is available from the individual applied music instructor, division chair, or from the Conservatory Office.
