Diploma


The Diploma program is a three-year program of study for undergraduate musicians in keyboard, orchestral instruments, and voice, who wish to pursue a non-degree course of study concentrating almost exclusively on performance. Because the Diploma does not result in a degree, students completing the program do not qualify for subsequent master’s level study.  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.
