Core Curriculum

Institute students are enrolled both in the Institute and in the School of Music and/or the Divinity School. Institute students who fulfill all curricular requirements receive their degree from that School, and they receive the ISM Certificate.

All ISM students follow the course requirements of the degree program in which they are enrolled in the relevant professional school. Additionally, the Institute has specific curricular requirements designed to complement those programs.

Institute students must enroll in the ISM Colloquium.

Institute students must pass all semesters of the ISM Colloquium. Students are required to give a joint colloquium presentation in their final year in the ISM. Students whose presentations do not pass do not receive credit for the semester of colloquium in which they presented; therefore they do not receive the ISM Certificate.

By the beginning of their final semester, students must have completed all ISM curricular requirements, or be enrolled in the remaining required courses. Failure to do so will result in the termination of all ISM financial aid.
