POST-DEGREE STUDIES

 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,
audition successfully, and be admitted to the University.
    Prerequisites: MU298*, MU490*, and two of FR102, GM100*,
IT131.
    Required courses: MU294; MU398* or MU498*; MU491B*;
MU491R; and one and a half credits which must include, if not taken
as part of the undergraduate degree, a half credit in drama (TR221
or TR229) or MU284 (Acting for Singers). The student must be
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 as accompanying, coaching, and dance. Each student's program
must be approved by the Dean and by the Co-ordinator of Opera.

 OTHER POST-DEGREE STUDIES
Applicants for post-degree practical studies will be considered by
the Admissions Committee after the studio requirements for
undergraduates have been determined. Any student enrolled in
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.
