Graduate Certificate Programs
Credit certificate programs are offered in specialized areas in the Jacobs School of Music. They include 12-29 credit hours of coursework. The targeted audience may be graduate music majors or non-majors at Indiana University or anyone who holds a bachelor’s degree.
Certificate courses will ordinarily be offered following the regular academic calendar. Check the Schedule of Classes for availability. IU Bloomington students may use individual certificate courses in any appropriate way towards both degree requirements and a certificate unless otherwise specified.
Admission Requirements
See the Certificate Programs page of the Jacobs School of Music website (https://music.indiana.edu/admissions/how-to-apply/certificates.html) for detailed application information.
Grade Requirements
Successful completion of a certificate program for graduate students requires a grade of B or higher in each course and an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher in certificate courses. Individual certificate programs may have stricter grade requirements. No transfer credit will be accepted for a certificate program unless otherwise specified.
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.

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.
