Electives

The Schulich School of Music has three types of electives in a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) program: non-music electives, music electives and free electives. An updated list of suggested electives for music students is found on the Electives website.

Music Electives

Unless otherwise specified, any Music course that is not a required course in the student's program can be counted as a Free and/or Music Elective in the B.Mus. program. Subject to program requirements, ensembles (courses with MUEN prefixes) accumulated beyond the ensemble requirements for the program may be counted as Complementary Performance, Music Elective or Free Elective. 

Non-Music Electives

Non-Music Electives are undergraduate-level courses administered by a faculty other than the Schulich School of Music. These may include arts and science courses such as French language, psychology, political science, computer science, etc. Students are permitted to take more than the assigned number of non-music electives assigned for their program. In this case, the additional non-music electives are considered free electives in a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) program. Students may elect to take one non-music elective per semester as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U).  See S/U policy for details. 

Free Electives

Free Electives can be a mix of music and non-music electives.
