The Artist Diploma is a two-year intensive program designed for exceptionally talented performers seeking focused training in instrumental, vocal, or conducting studies, without the academic requirements of a DMA or Ph.D. Candidates must hold a master's degree. This selective program caters to highly skilled instrumentalists, vocalists, and conductors who are launching their professional performance careers.
Unlike the Doctor of Musical Arts program, which serves those pursuing academic careers, the Artist Diploma exclusively prepares musicians for performance careers. The curriculum concentrates on private lessons, ensemble work, and performance-focused seminars to maximize skill development. Graduates will be equipped to compete internationally, audition for top-tier orchestras and opera houses, and establish themselves as professional performers.

Qualification Requirements
Prospective students must also present credentials to the School of Music. Under the Program Information section of the online application, the specific concentration must be listed. The following credentials must be presented to the School of Music:
Instrumental and Vocal Performance subplans:
Three to five confidential letters of recommendation.
A successful on-campus performance audition.
Bachelor's Degree - You must hold a four-year baccalaureate from a regionally accredited institution or an approved equivalent.
Grade Point Average - You must have a minimum overall grade point average of 2.75 (4.00=A) for the bachelor's degree or a minimum 3.00 (4.00=A) for the last two years (60 semester hours). Applicants with international academic work can use Scholaro to estimate their U.S. GPA calculation. While Scholaro can provide an approximate representation of your converted U.S. GPA, it does not replace the comprehensive evaluation of academic coursework conducted by the UNLV Office of Admissions. Our GPA calculation and credential equivalency review are still essential in the admission process. UNLV's evaluation may differ from the results generated by this tool.
Transcripts - One transcript from every post-secondary institution the applicant has attended (regardless of whether a degree or credential was earned), showing all coursework, extension and correspondence work, any degrees earned, and the dates that those degrees were awarded. Unofficial transcripts will be accepted as part of the application process. However, if an applicant is admitted, official transcripts will be required by the date specified on the Certificate of Admission. Transfer credits posted on another institution's transcript will not be accepted in lieu of the transcript itself. Only transcripts sent directly from the institution are considered official. Failure to disclose all coursework and/or degrees awarded will result in rescission of admission. IELTS - 6.5, TOEFL - 80, (Paper-based) Minimum score - 74 (Computer-based) Minimum score - 213, Pearson Test of English (PTE) - Minimum score - 65
