    Career

    Careers

    Most job marketplaces in the 21st century—including university graduate and professional programs, such as the health sciences—are interested in applicants with music training. This is because such music training demonstrates an ability to work in an unsupervised environment and to work well collaboratively, quickly, creatively, and logically.

    Students with career aspirations in music (e.g. music education and/or music performance) and students with career aspirations external to music will find this certificate program valuable in broadening their knowledge base and musical skill sets, and to augment their curriculum vitae in substantive and meaningful ways.
