Arts Academic Plans

A Joint Honours academic plan with Music may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered or with many Honours majors in other Faculties. See the Music department for the most recent list of approved combinations.

Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative average of 60% and a cumulative Music average of 75%.

Eligibility for graduation in the Music Joint Honours academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:

1. Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 21 academic course units. If the Home Faculty is Arts, see Bachelor of Arts.
2. Music Plan-level requirements:
   • at least eight academic course units (16 courses) in Music, with a minimum cumulative average of 75%, including:
     • MUSIC 100
     • three of MUSIC 253, 254, 255, 256
     • three of MUSIC 270, 271, 370, 371
     • two other 300- or 400-level MUSIC courses
   • participation in at least six terms of Music Ensemble
3. Plan-level requirements for the second Major.

In addition, students must demonstrate competence on one instrument (or voice) equal to Grade Ten standing at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto. Normally this is attained through taking Music Studio Courses – MUSIC 226, 227, 326, 327.

Note: Students electing to take Music Studio must arrange for an audition before the Music Faculty. Normally a level of performance equal to Grade Eight standing at the Royal Conservatory of Music of Toronto is expected for admission to Music Studio.
