Master's Program Information | Graduate Advisor

This program has been designed to provide graduate level instruction to performers interested in professional development. Outcomes of the Certificate include:

• improving technical ability of performers
• enhancing performing artistry
• expanding repertoire

The Certificate in Performance requires a total of 15 hours of coursework including nine hours of applied instruction, three elective hours, and a three-hour credit recital program. Admission into the program requires a bachelor's degree or equivalent and is contingent upon an audition for a committee consisting of at least two faculty members. Upon successful completion of audition, student must apply to the UTA Graduate School as a "special student."

(Students in this certificate program who later seek graduate degrees at UTA may apply 12 hours of Certificate coursework within 6 years of completion and award of the Certificate, if they meet the admission requirements for the graduate degree and receive approval from the appropriate Graduate Studies Committee and the Dean of the Graduate School. Admission as a special student in no way guarantees subsequent unconditional admission into a graduate program or into the Graduate School.)
