Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Music - Classical Music

Bishop’s graduates have pursued careers as scholars, teachers, arts administrators, and composers, as well as performers, both classical and pop. Others have taken their B.A. and gone in a completely different direction. Some students just want to pursue their love of music, without making it a career. Students intending to choose the Honours program should declare their intent in writing by the fourth full-time semester. An Honours thesis or recital proposal must be approved by the Department. An average of at least 70%, calculated on the marks obtained in all courses attempted in both the first and second 30-credit program years, is required. In performance, a grade of at least 80% is required in MUS 373 to continue in Honours Performance.
