Yearly Program Study Plan; B.Mus. Faculty - Jazz

Use this 4-year guide to plan your studies and graduate from your Bachelor of Music (Faculty Program -聽Jazz) program on time.

If you're a transfer student or a CEGEP graduate, you may be able to complete the program in 3 years instead of 4.

Which courses to take each year

This is a basic 4-year plan for students from high school with no advanced standing.

Program audit

You will receive a summary of exemption credits from placement exams, transfer credits, Advanced Placements (AP), etc, before you begin your first semester at the Schulich School of Music. You can access this information via a Program Audit (PA) customized for you. Visit the PA web page to learn more about how you can view your personalized program plan.

Meet with your academic advisor to review your program plan at least once a year.

Course load

You should normally register for 15-18 credits per term.

  • Full-time course load: 12 credits or more
  • Part-time course load: 11 credits or less

Practical instruction

  • For practical instruction registration details, visit Registration.听

Sample year 1 course plan (with no course exemptions)

  • You have the option to take placement exams in jazz materials, jazz ear training or jazz keyboard proficiency before school starts. Depending on the basis of admission and the placement test results, you may be exempt from jazz music history (MUJZ 187), jazz materials (MUJZ 160 & 161), jazz ear-training (MUSP 123 & 124) or jazz keyboard proficiency (MUJZ 170 & 171). To learn more about the course exemption criteria, see Placement Exams.听
  • If you choose not to write the placement tests, you will register for courses as presented in this sample first year course plan.
  • If you are exempt from MUJZ 187, you may consider taking an elective in the first semester.
  • You must be proficient in English for all courses, especially Music History. Non-anglophone students should defer MUJZ 187 until their second year and register for an English as Second Language (ESL) course in year 1. ESL courses can be accepted as non-music electives. Contact the Writing Centre for information on ESL course registration.
