Certificate in Ethnomusicology
The Certificate in Ethnomusicology provides students with options for studying diverse forms of music or focusing in on particular cultural areas of interest to them. The certificate serves undergraduate students who want a music credential without a full major, and serves the broader public (teachers, arts administrators, cultural tourism entrepreneurs, community members) who want to develop their musical and cultural competence through university study. Through careful degree planning, the 24 credits of the certificate can form a part of BA, BACS and BBA degrees, or it can be pursued as a standalone credential.
Students wishing to earn the Certificate in Ethnomusicology must take a minimum of twenty-four (24) credits as follows:
Complete 12 Core Credits:
- MUSI 1101 Experiencing Music (3 credits)
- MUSI 2101 Music and Culture (3 credits)
- MUSI 3101 Musics of the World (3 credits)
- MUSI 3801 Directed Study in Musicology (3 credits)
MUSI 3801 requires a special arrangement between an individual student and a professor, endorsed by the Dean, to cover a topic unavailable in the regular course offerings. See department chair for details.
Complete a minimum of 12 MUSI electives from available MUSI courses.
Students taking the Certificate in Ethnomusicology should consult annually with a faculty member in the department before choosing courses for the coming year. Applied music courses (fiddle courses; ensembles) cannot exceed 33% of credits for a music credential.
Certificate in Theatre Arts
The Certificate in Theatre Arts combines the study of dramatic literature with practical theatre training. All the courses associated with the certificate are accredited and can be applied toward a Bachelor of Arts or another relevant degree at CBU. The program has been designed to serve undergraduate students at CBU, as well as members of the general public – teachers, adult educators, community theatre workers, arts administrators, cultural tourism officers – who want to develop their knowledge of theatre by studying in a university setting. Careful degree planning can support earning the Certificate through electives and core courses in most BA and some BACS programs, and the program can also be taken on its own. Students in other Schools are advised to consult with the department chair to confirm the feasibility of the Certificate within their chosen program.
