A one-year Graduate Professional Studies Music Certificate in performance allows for majors in classical guitar, keyboard, opera, orchestral instruments and voice. The central purpose of the Graduate Professional Studies Certificate program is to provide intensive training in the major performance area for students who are already performing at the Master's exit level and who are seeking special preparation for the professional world (e.g. preparation for orchestral auditions).

Professional Studies is rooted in the conservatory tradition with its strong emphasis on advanced performance study. Students are required to complete a minimum of eighteen credits, two semesters of full-time study. While the curricula vary somewhat according to major, all share an emphasis on private study and related performance courses (ensembles or repertoire courses).
