加州大学旧金山分校的学生表演

The 艺术家文凭 is a two-year certificate program offering the exceptionally talented, emerging professional musician practical instruction and experience in music performance at the post- baccalaureate level. 课程作业强调私人学习, 独奏表演, 以及合奏表演, while allowing students to tailor their remaining elective coursework as best supports their personal background and goals. Admission is based largely on performance ability, as assessed through rigorous live 试镜. The 艺术家文凭 is offered for the following areas of study: brass, 木管乐器, 字符串, 打击乐器, 吉他, 的声音, 爵士乐, 钢琴, 以及乐器指挥.

入学标准

  1. A baccalaureate music degree from a domestic accredited college, 大学, 或音乐学院, or equivalent if foreign student (equivalency to be determined by Admissions and Records).
  2. 最少2个.5 G.P.A. 在过去的60个单元中.
  3. For those applicants who hold no degrees from an English-language based institution, a minimum score of 500 on the paper-based TOEFL exam or 61 on the Internet TOEFL (NOTE: 550 paper / 80 Internet TOEFL is required for students choosing to enroll in 500-level graduate seminars for elective units).
  4. A high level of musical performance ability as assessed through a live audition (please see audition requirements listed under areas of concentration) held before the 艺术家文凭 Auditioning Committee which would be comprised of area coordinators and other appropriate music faculty (Students living at least 500 miles away for whom travel to CSUF would be costly, may submit a DVD or an online link to YouTube, Dropbox, 个人网站, 等., as a preliminary assessment of their performance; students successfully passing this preliminary assessment of their performance must still perform a live audition after they arrive). It is expected that an 艺术家文凭 candidate would pass a higher standard of performance in their audition than that of an incoming master’s student applying to the Master of Music Program.
