Certificates and Diplomas

Certificates and Diplomas for Matriculated Eastman Students

The value of an Eastman education is enriched by opportunities to earn certificates and diplomas in specific areas, and by special programs that add depth to our innovative and detailed curricula. A diploma program consists of a prescribed curriculum that ranges from 16-25 credits, including components such as applied music, academic coursework, independent study, ensembles, and in some cases, an internship experience. Two types of certificates are awarded, including those focused on outstanding performance (Performer’s or Artist’s Certificate) and those involving co-curricular activity.

The undergraduate program now includes an Arts Leadership Certificate and the World Music Certificate. Graduate programs include the Orchestral Studies Diploma, the Sacred Music Diploma, the Arts Leadership Certificate, the Certificate in the Art of Improvisation, the Certificate in College and/or Community Teaching, the World Music Certificate, and the Ethnomusicology Diploma. Other new programs are being developed, always with the goal of providing our students with a top-quality education that is both innovative and relevant.
