 Opera Diploma Program
The opera diploma program is intended for singers who have completed an undergraduate degree
or diploma in Music and who wish to continue their studies in voice and opera. The diploma
requires the completion, within three consecutive academic terms (spring/fall/winter or
fall/winter/spring), of four and a half credits with an overall average of 7.00. For admission to
the program, students must have completed all prerequisites, successfully complete an audition,
and be admitted to the University.

enrolled concurrently in MU398* or MU498*, MU491B*, and an approved elective course;
withdrawal from one of these will entail withdrawal from the program.

    Electives may be chosen from MU497* (Intensive Studies in Voice), drama,
acting, languages, and a senior half credit in music history. Depending on the student's prior
experience in voice, opera, music history, and drama, other electives may be considered such

and by the co-ordinator of opera.

post-degree, non-diploma practical studies in Music must be enrolled full-time. Any withdrawal
from courses that produces less than full-time registration (four credits) will require withdrawal
from all practical study courses.
