Undergraduate
Certificate Programs
Credit certificate programs are offered in specialized areas in the Jacobs School of Music. They include 12-29 credit hours of course work. The targeted audience may be undergraduate music majors or non-majors at Indiana University or undergraduate students at other institutions.
Admission
Current IU Bloomington students do not need to apply separately for admission to certificate programs. Non-IUB students should apply as non-degree students following the certificate admission process detailed on the Jacobs School of Music Admissions and Financial Aid website (http://www.music.indiana.edu/admissions/index.shtml).
Grade Requirements
Successful completion of a certificate program for undergraduates requires a grade of C or higher in each course and an overall GPA of 2.5 or higher in certificate courses. Individual certificate programs may have stricter grade requirements. No transfer credit will be accepted for a certificate program.
Tuition and Fees
Students pay tuition for certificate courses depending on their residency status (resident or nonresident) at IU Bloomington. Non-music students enrolled only in certificate programs will not be charged the music program fee and will not be eligible for financial aid from the Jacobs School of Music. Additional fees may be charged for specific courses.
Application for Completion
Students who wish to be awarded a certificate must complete an Application for Certificate Completion. For IU Bloomington students, certificate courses must be completed within the time limit for their degrees. All other students must complete the certificate courses within four calendar years. There is no residence requirement for certificate completion.
