Music Performance, Graduate Certificate Locations  

The Graduate Certificate in Music Performance program is offered through Park University’s International Center for Music. This two-year certificate program — with applied emphasis in piano, violin, viola or cello — is designed for students who want to pursue a non-degree course of study concentrating almost exclusively on performance. Minimum graduate credit hours required for the certificate are 24 credit hours and participation time per week as outlined in the Award Scholarship Letter from ICM.

Additional admission requirements (beyond the general rules for admission to Graduate Studies at Park University) include the following:

1) Bachelor of Music or related undergraduate degree from a U.S. institution, an equivalent bachelor’s degree from an accredited foreign institution of higher education, or equivalent professional experience as determined by the faculty of the International Center for Music.

2) An audition before the music faculty. In approved situations, a recording may be submitted in lieu of a live audition.

3) Each applicant must furnish a complete list of repertoire and recital history, at the time of application. This is an advanced program of study at the graduate level, supervised and approved by the graduate faculty of Park University.
