** AD and GPD students must be enrolled as full-time students. 

 

* MM and DMA students may take only a combined six credits from the departments of Music Theory and Musicology. Music Theory courses begin with the prefix 710; Musicology courses begin with the prefix 610. Remedial work is excluded from this total.

 

Conservatory tuition includes major performance requirements and academic credits.  For most programs, a student will take a lesson (4 credits), an ensemble (2 credits) and a recital (2 credits).  Students who give degree recitals must be enrolled in lessons.  Most performance majors enrolled in lessons must be enrolled in an ensemble. See individual curricular listings for specific requirements.

  

Undergraduate Students enrolled BM degree program or the PC diploma program may register for as many credits as is appropriate for their plan of study.  Undergraduates must enroll in 12 credits each semester to maintain full-time status and complete 30 credits each year to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress.  

  

Note that students enrolled in the Music Education degree will be classified as full-time students with a courseload of 7 credits during the one semester that they participate in Intern Teaching (PY.510.411) in fulfillment of their degree requirements.

  

Graduate students enrolled in the MM or the DMA degree programs must enroll in 9 credits each semester to maintain full-time status and complete 18 credits each year to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress.   MM and DMA students may enroll in lessons, ensembles, recitals and a maximum of nine academic credits each semester.  Of those nine credits, only six credits can be in the departments of Music Theory and Musicology.  Undergraduate language classes, pedagogy classes, departmental classes, remedial coursework and any elective coursework not offered as Music Theory or Musicology will be excluded from the credit limit. Any combination of Music Theory and Musicology credits in excess of six hours or any combination of academic courses in excess of nine credits will entail per-credit charges added to the cost of yearly tuition.  

  

Graduate students enrolled in the GPD or AD diploma programs must be enrolled in lessons and must maintain full-time status and complete eight credits each year.  In addition to lessons, unlimited ensembles, and recitals, students in the GPD and AD programs are allowed to enroll in a maximum of four academic credits each semester. Academic credits in excess of four will entail additional per-credit hour fees. 

  

The credit limits for graduate degrees reflect Peabody's educational philosophy that graduate students should attend to the intense challenges specific to their major area and related academic studies.
