Arts Academic Plans

Continuation in this academic plan requires a minimum cumulative overall average of 60% and a minimum cumulative Music major average of 70%.

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

1. Appropriate program-level requirements. See Bachelor of Arts Degree Requirements.
2. Music plan-level requirements:
   • a minimum cumulative Music major average of 70%
   • at least eight academic course units (16 courses) in Music, including:
     • MUSIC 110
     • one of MUSIC 232, MUSIC 233
     • three of MUSIC 253, MUSIC 254, MUSIC 255, MUSIC 256
     • three of MUSIC 270, MUSIC 271, MUSIC 370, MUSIC 371
     • at least four MUSIC courses at the 300-level or above
   • participation in at least six terms of Music Ensemble; which may not be counted as part of the 16 course requirement
   • 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, MUSIC 227, MUSIC 326, MUSIC 327

Notes

1. 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.
2. Most music courses are open to students from all faculties on campus. Students intending to major in music will normally be admitted at the beginning of second year, based on overall academic performance in first year, which should include several music courses. It is normally a good idea to include Music studio courses in first year. However, acceptance into studio courses does not itself constitute admission to a Music academic plan.

Arts and Business (Co-op and Regular)

Students may combine the Honours Music academic plan with Arts and Business. In addition to the Honours Music requirements, students must also complete the Arts and Business requirements.

Honours Double Majors

Honours Music may be taken in combination with most Arts majors in which an honours major is offered or with many honours majors in other faculties. For further information, see the double majors section of Available Arts Academic Plans.

Intensive Music Specialization

In combination with the Honours Music plan-level requirements listed above, students interested in pursuing the Intensive Music Specialization will be required to fulfil the following requirements:

• A minimum Music major average of 75%.
• Successful completion of four additional MUSIC courses at the 300-level or above, for a total of 10 academic course units (20 courses) in Music.

Notes

1. The Intensive Music Specialization is only open to students majoring in Honours Music.
2. Students must achieve a minimum cumulative major average of at least 75% in all Music courses counted towards their Honours Music major.
3. Students who have completed courses towards this specialization but are not able to sustain the required 75% minimum cumulative major average but are still eligible for honours standing will normally be allowed to continue in the Honours Music major but without the specialization.
