Notes:
- Honours students in Music are required to declare a program of study during or before their third year of study. A student may define a more narrow focus of study within an area such as Music History, Music Theory, Composition, Digital Media, or Music Pedagogy, or they may link thematically across such areas.
- The Honours Project (Music History and Literature 596 or Music Theory and Composition 596) is usually written during the final year of a student's program, under the close supervision of a member of the Department. At the end of the year, the student defends the thesis before a committee that consists of three faculty members, of which normally at least two are members of the Department. The Honours project in suitable form is to be submitted by the first day of the final examinations scheduled by the Registrar in the Winter term.
- Students with an interest in pursuing a Sonic Arts Concentration should select Music Theory and Composition 361 and 379 to meet the Foundation Course requirement of 1.0 full course equivalents at the 300 level from Music Theory and Composition.
