Performer's Certificates
The program of study leading to the Performer's Certificate in Music is intended to provide a concentrated course of study in performance for outstanding musicians who have completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree from a university or music conservatory in the United States or an international equivalent. Under the guidance of artist-teachers, students study applied music, participate in chamber music, repertory/coaching (voice), and perform in a major ensemble.
The Performer's Certificate is intended to be completed in one academic year (in consecutive fall and spring semesters). Six credits are required each semester, for a total of twelve credits. Credits earned in a certificate program may not be applied to any degree program at the University of Connecticut. Specific information on the types of Performer's Certificates, listed below, is available in the Handbook for Graduate Music Students.
