PPC Program Goals and Requirements
Goals
All professional Performance Certificate (PPC) students should be engaged full-time (minimum of forty contact hours) for two semesters in performance-related study.  Because the program is designed to meet each student's individual performance goals, requirements will vary based on these goals.  Common to all PPC programs will be ten hours of supervised work and a significant performance project related to the student's goals.

Acceptance
Applicants shall have completed an undergraduate degree in music.  In exceptional circumstances, demonstrated equivalent qualifications may be considered.  Students will receive a formal letter of acceptance following a successful audition for placement in an applied studio and approval by the Director of the School of Music.  In addition, PPC students will receive a letter for the School of Music prior to the beginning of fall semester that confirms the work required for completion of the certificate.  Both letters will become part of the student's academic record, to be filed in the School of Music main office.

Assessment

At the end of fall semester, in lieu of grades, supervising faculty will complete an assessment of each student’s work relative to expectations (copies to the student and to the Director), referring to the initial plan of study. A revised plan of study for spring semester may be developed and attached to the assessment form, if the supervising faculty and PPC student have decided that changes are appropriate. At the end of spring semester, supervising faculty will certify that the student has satisfactorily met program goals so that the student may be issued a performance certificate.
