Standards of Achievement and Evaluation

All undergraduate students in the Music Division are reviewed by the Scholastic Standing Committee at quarterly intervals throughout the academic year. A high level of accomplishment is expected in the major studies and performance ensembles at all times. Students are encouraged to feel that they are in a professional as well as educational environment and that the goal of their training is their growth as young artists and informed members of our society. Further details regarding satisfactory academic progress, attendance, juries, and examinations may be found in the Standards and Regulations  section.

Note: Supplementary English instruction may be required for undergraduate programs, based on the results of the TOEFL exam.

Programs

    Bachelor of Music

    The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degree program is the principal undergraduate program in music, and nearly all of the undergraduate musicians are enrolled in it. It requires students to supplement their music studies with a prescribed number of courses in the Liberal Arts Department.

    The B.M. degree program normally requires four years to complete. The minimum residency is two years for qualified and approved transfer students (three years for Voice majors). All requirements for the degree must be completed within seven years of a student’s original enrollment in the B.M. program.

    Undergraduate Diploma

    The Diploma program is a three-year program of study for the few very gifted undergraduate musicians in keyboard, orchestral instruments, and voice, who for personal or professional reasons must pursue a non-degree course of study concentrating almost exclusively on performance. New students may enter this program only upon recommendation of the dean and the Admissions Committee. Currently enrolled students may transfer into this program only upon approval of the Scholastic Standing Committee.

    NOTE: Important statistics and disclosure information on all non-degree diploma programs are available on the Juilliard Web site.
