Music Credit Options for Students in Other Faculties
The Schulich School of Music offers three groups of courses that may be taken for credit by students in other faculties.
The first group consists of Music Literature and Theory courses especially designed for students from faculties other than Music who may not have taken formal studies in music but who wish to take elective courses in the cultural, historical, and theoretical aspects of music. These courses are generally offered with a MUAR prefix. Students enrolled in a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) or Licentiate in Music (L.Mus.) program are not allowed to take MUAR courses as earned credits towards their program.
The second group is an extensive list of coursesβ€”in music theory (MUTH), musicianship (MUSP), music history (MUHL and/or MUPP), music technology (MUSR and/or MUMT), etc.β€”that are part of a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Music minor or major, the Musical Applications of Technology (MAT) minor, or the Musical Science and Technology (MST) minor.
The third group of courses consists of selected music ensembles (MUEN courses) open, by audition, to students in other faculties. Students must pass an audition before registering for MUEN courses. Audition dates and requirements are found on the Ensemble website. Students outside the Schulich School of Music should verify with their Faculty advisers if they may take MUEN courses for credits towards their degree progam.
