Programs

Berklee offers a bachelor of music degree program and a four year program leading to a professional diploma. *Both programs provide you with the necessary tools for developing your musical talents to the fullest and preparing you for an enduring career in the multi-faceted and ever changing demands of today's professional music industry.

In the degree program, music studies are combined with liberal arts courses affording you a broad context in which to study and pursue your musical objectives. The diploma program is devoted entirely to the study of music and is often pursued by students who already have a degree from another school. It does not include liberal arts courses required of degree candidates, therefore, the diploma program is not offered for Music Therapy and Music Education majors. If accepted to the diploma program you can switch to the degree program while enrolled at Berklee if you meet certain academic requirements.

* A Berklee two year certificate is available on request upon completion (minimum GPA of 2.00 required) of four semesters of residency and a minimum of 48 credits of course work. The certificate is not a separate or accelerated program but simply reflects a your educational accomplishments at the college for a two-year period of study.
