Yearly Program Study Plan; L.Mus. Jazz

Use this 3-year guide to plan your studies and graduate from your Licentiate in Music (Jazz Performance) 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 3-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 20-23 credits per term.

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

Practical instruction and practical exams

  • You must complete 3 practical exams (MUIN 252, 352 and 452) during your program. In some cases, you might take your exams at different times than what we suggest in our sample 3-year plan.
  • Determine when to apply for these exams with your practical instruction teacher.
  • For practical instruction registration details, visit Registration.听

Sample year 1 course plan

  • You must take placement exams in jazz materials and jazz ear training 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), or jazz ear training (MUSP 123 & 124). To learn more about course exemption criteria, see Placement Exams.听
  • If you choose not to write the placement tests, you are expected to register for the prerequisites, MUJZ 160 & 161 and MUSP 123 & 124 in the first year. You will defer registration for MUJZ 223, 224, 260 & 261 until the second year after you successfully pass the MUJZ prerequisites.
  • 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. Contact the Writing Centre for information on ESL course registration.
