Training
•Bullet: Unlike the AA and AA-T Music degrees, this is a Certificate of Achievement — a focused technical credential built around production coursework rather than the general-education pattern the two degree pathways carry
•Bullet: Students still draw on the department's applied-instruction resources, including one-on-one lessons with professional working musicians and piano, guitar, voice, and string classes, alongside coursework specific to the production sequence
Performance & Productions
•Bullet: The certificate sits inside the Fine & Performing Arts division's push into live performance, multi-media, and live-streaming production work, and enrolled students may also join any of the department's seven ensembles — Concert Chorale, Chamber Choir, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Mariachi, Chamber Orchestra, and Guitar Ensemble — outside the certificate's core requirements
Value
•Bullet: As a stand-alone credential rather than a two-year degree, it suits students who want production-specific training on a shorter timeline or as a stackable add-on alongside the AA or AA-T Music degree
