Application Process

• Applicants must apply to the Bachelor of Music (MusBac) program (Stream in Music Technology and Digital Media: Classical), the Master of Music (MMus) program (Field in Music Technology and Digital Media), and the CDP.

• In the Fall session of Year 3 of the MusBac program, students apply for conditional admission to the MMus program (MTDM field).

Minimum Admission Requirements

To be considered for conditional admission to the MMus program (Field in Music Technology and Digital Media) and the CDP, applicants must meet the qualifications specified by the MMus program (MTDM field) and the following requirements:

• Be admitted to the MusBac degree program and the MTDM: Classical stream.

• Meet the admission requirements of the School of Graduate Studies and the MMus program (MTDM field).

• Be enrolled full-time and in good standing in the MusBac degree program:

  • Be registered in Year 3 of the MusBac (MTDM: Classical stream).

  • Have an average grade equivalent to at least a B+ (cumulative grade point average [CGPA] of 3.3), normally demonstrated by an average grade in Year 2.

• Submit a portfolio demonstrating at least two of the following three competencies: skills in music performance or composition; knowledge of music computer applications; and/or experience as a composer, sound engineer, or producer of a released musical work.

To be given full, unconditional admission to the MMus program (MTDM field), applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Maintain at least a B+ average (CGPA of 3.3) in the final year of the MusBac program (MTDM: Classical stream).

• Achieve at least a B– in both of the graduate courses (1.0 FCE) taken in Year 4.

• Successfully complete the requirements for the MusBac program (MTDM: Classical stream).

• Be conferred with the MusBac degree.

Academic Path to Completion

Every CDP involves a specific combination of approved degree programs. The CDP requirements build on those of the two separate degree programs. Each CDP has a unique pattern of academic activity year by year.

Note: at the undergraduate level, a credit is equal to a graduate-level full-course equivalent (FCE). Course weight is measured for both using a Y (1.0 weight) or H (0.5 weight) suffix.

Years 1 to 3

Progression

• Undergraduate courses in accordance with Faculty of Music regulations for the MusBac degree (MTDM: Classical stream).

Specific Requirements

• 15.0 credits toward the MusBac program and degree requirements.

• In the Fall session, students registered in Year 3 express interest in the CDP to the Faculty of Music Registrar's Office, which advises applicants on the process in collaboration with the Faculty of Music Graduate Office. Successful applicants receive conditional acceptance to the CDP and MMus (MTDM field).

Year 4

Progression

• Undergraduate courses in accordance with the Faculty of Music regulations for the MusBac degree (MTDM: Classical stream).

• Graduate courses in accordance with the U of T regulations for the CDP.

Specific Requirements

• 4.0 credits toward the MusBac program and degree requirements.

• 1.0 FCE in MMus (MTDM field) elective courses selected in consultation with the Music Technology Coordinator. This will be counted as 1.0 credit toward the overall requirements of the MusBac and MMus programs.

Years 5 and 6

Progression

• Remaining graduate courses in accordance with the U of T regulations for the MMus (MTDM field).

Specific Requirements

• 6.0 FCEs in MMus (MTDM field) requirements. See the MMus Field in Music Technology and Digital Media entry for full course requirements.

• Note that students will have previously completed the 1.0 FCE in electives in Year 4 of the MusBac program.
