Available within the Faculty of Arts are a Major and a Minor Concentration in Music.

Arts students may also apply to the other music minors (Music Composition; Music Education; Music History; Music Theory; Musical Applications of Technology; and Musical Science and Technology) as long as they have the necessary music prerequisites.

These programs are intended for students who have at least high school matriculation or the equivalent. Students without the formal music prerequisites must speak with a Music Adviser prior to registration. Visit the Music Program website for more information.

B.A. students should consult with an Arts OASIS Adviser and the B.A. Music Adviser to ensure that they have the necessary prerequisites prior to applying to the music programs. Arts students must write placement examinations www.mcgill.ca/music/student-resources/undergraduates/new-students/placement-exams in music theory and musicianship before they may register for the courses in the music minor or major programs.

Admission to the B.A. program is granted according to criteria established by the Faculty of Arts. For more information, see:

• Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Minor Concentration Music (18 credits);
• Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) - Major Concentration Music (36 credits).

Undergraduate students interested in a more intensive music program, including practical instruction on an instrument or in voice and additional ensemble participation, should consider the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) degree or the Licentiate program (L.Mus.) offered by the Schulich School of Music; see Schulich School of Music > Undergraduate > Overview of Programs > Degrees and Diplomas Offered.

All ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù students enrolled in a degree program may audition for a variety of ensembles offered through the Schulich School of Music. The majority of the ensemble auditions take place only once a year, generally during the first week of September. If you pass the audition, you may participate in the assigned ensemble(s). Consult with your home faculty adviser to determine if you may apply the ensemble credits toward your degree. The schedule and requirements for ensemble auditions are available on the Ensemble website.

Students from other faculties may also register for the courses listed below as long as they have the necessary prerequisites or co-requisites and/or permission from the instructor. Consult with your home faculty adviser to see how these courses may fit into your program.

Courses with the MUAR prefix

These are considered to be music courses taught in the Faculty of Arts, but cannot be credited toward the B.Mus., L.Mus., or B.A. Major or Minor Concentration in Music programs.

Courses with the MUHL, MUTH and MUMT prefixes

The Music History and Literature (MUHL), Music Theory and Analysis (MUTH), and Music Technology (MUMT) courses listed below are considered as music courses taught within the Faculty of Arts. Students must take the theory placement exams before taking MUTH courses. These courses are intended for students who have at least high school music preparation or the equivalent. Students who do not have the formal music prerequisites require permission from the instructor to register for any of these courses.

Students enrolled in a B.A. Music Major or Minor may be exempt from co-requisite(s) for MUTH 150. Consult with a B.A. Music Advisor prior to registration.
