Available within the Faculty of Arts are a major and a minor concentration in Music. Arts students may also apply to the Minor in Musical Applications of Technology and the Minor in Musical Science and Technology.

Admission to the B.A. program is granted according to criteria established by the Faculty of Arts.

Students in the B.A. Freshman Program who are considering a Music concentration should see the Freshman Adviser in Arts OASIS in Dawson Hall. They should also see the Music Adviser in order to ensure that they include any necessary prerequisite Music courses (based on the results of placement examinations) in their first-year selection.

Students interested in a more intensive music program, including practical instruction on an instrument or in voice and additional ensemble participation, should consider the B.Mus. degree or the diplomas offered by the Schulich School of Music; see Schulich School of Music > Undergraduate > Overview of Programs > Degrees and Diplomas Offered.

Arts students may, with the permission of the instructor and the Associate Dean (Student Affairs) of the Faculty of Arts, participate in one of the following ensembles in a given year. Auditions are held starting the week prior to the beginning of classes in September and continuing during that first week. The schedule and requirements for these auditions are available at the end of June from the Department of Performance office, 514-398-4542. Normally both the Fall and Winter sections of an ensemble are taken in the same academic year.

The courses referred to below are also open to students from other faculties. Other Music courses may be taken by qualified students from other faculties providing they obtain permission from the relevant department in the Schulich School of Music and from the Associate Dean of their own faculty.

All courses with the prefix MUAR.

These are considered to be courses taught in the Faculty of Arts, but cannot be credited toward the B.A. or B.Sc. Music programs.

The Music History and Literature (MUHL), Music Theory and Analysis (MUTH), and Music Technology (MUMT) courses listed below are considered by the Faculty of Arts as courses taught within the Faculty; however, the Faculty of Science considers them to be courses taught outside of the Faculty.

These courses are intended for students who have at least high school music matriculation or the equivalent. Students who do not have the formal music prerequisites require the permission of the Chair of the Department of Music Research to register for any of these courses.
