The Graduate Artist Diploma in Music Performance is offered through Park’s International Center for Music. This is a unique two-year program — with applied emphasis in piano, violin, viola or cello — is open to only a few highly gifted artists who have demonstrated exemplary artistic achievement in their academic/professional career, and is the most advanced course of study in music offered at Park University. This course of study is to prepare students for a concert/stage career, or a major appointment in the professional or academic arena. Additional admission requirements, in addition to the general rules that are applicable for admission to Graduate Studies at Park University, are:

• Successful completion of the Graduate Certificate in Music Performance offered at Park University, or the equivalent graduate degree/certificate from an accredited U.S. or foreign institution, or equivalent professional experience as determined by the faculty of the International Center for Music.
• An audition before the music faculty. In approved situations, a recording may be submitted in lieu of a live audition.

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.
