Program Overview
The Graduate Artist Diploma is the uppermost diploma offered at the Schulich School of Music.
This program is tailored for artist performers wishing to achieve the highest level of artistry in their craft through intensive coaching, practicing, and performance projects.

It is possible to apply for a combined two-year Graduate Diploma in Performance / Graduate Artist Diploma program.
