Graduate Artist Certificate in Music Performance

The Graduate Artist Certificate in Music Performance (GACMP) is a non-degree program providing an intensive, two-year period of post-baccalaureate study in music performance. It is intended for exceptionally gifted and accomplished performers seeking professional performing careers, but not wishing to engage in academic studies required for a graduate degree program.


Note to current graduate students

  • The most authoritative information comes from the catalog and directly from the Jazz Studies Chair or from the College of Music Office of Graduate Studies, not from your fellow students and not from a website (even this one--there are hundreds of pages on this site and at certain times they may not be 100% accurate). You can help yourself avoid expensive surprises by seeing your advisor now to do a draft degree plan if you have earned fewer than 12 graduate hours, and a degree plan that you will file formally if you have earned more than 12 hours.
  • Jazz studies courses can be taken to fulfill elective or related field requirements in other UNT degrees. Admission to the related field in jazz studies is by audition. For more information, see the UNT Graduate Catalog. Many jazz studies courses are available for proficiency credit. At the start of each long semester, exams are given to enable those who can show that they have equivalent skills or knowledge to receive proficiency credit.

Revisions in the M.M. in Jazz Studies were approved by the UNT Graduate Council on Sept. 21, 2006.
