PRACTICUM OPTION
The practicum program is available to Music students in Third and/or Fourth Year. The program
is essentially a work term during which students are employed in projects directly related to their
musical interests. The Faculty of Music will assist students to find employment, but the primary
responsibility for locating employment rests with the student. Salary arrangements are negotiated
by the employer and the student. Credit for MU350 and MU450 is granted on the basis of a
final report from the practicum supervisor who is usually the employer. No grade will be
reported but rather the designation credit or non-credit.
