One-Year Certificate Program

This one-year certificate program is designed for students with little or no music experience who have an interest in the music industry. Students are provided with the opportunity to gain knowledge of the music industry before investing in a diploma or degree. Students receive an introduction to recording, marketing, production, Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI), and mixing. This program is useful for individuals who want to experience college delivery of course material, who want a starting point to pursue a career in music, or who are looking to build a music portfolio for entrance into a diploma or degree program.

Graduates of this one-year program are eligible to receive an Ontario College Certificate. Graduates can apply to another program at the College or continue their studies in Year II of the General Arts and Science Ontario College Diploma program. Some credits may be considered as transfer credits towards other college programs.

Two-Year Diploma Program

The two-year diploma program begins in September (for graduates of the one-year certificate program) and in January. Year II provides a well-balanced selection of courses in the social sciences and humanities. On successful completion of Year II, students receive an Ontario College Diploma.

Graduates of the diploma program may be eligible to transfer some credits towards a university degree.
