The mental agility you develop as a jazz musician is matched only by your dexterity as a performer, your audacity as a composer, and your skills as an arranger.<\/p>\n<p>Students in the Jazz Studies program, the first university-level jazz program created in Canada, have a unique opportunity to become fully immersed in the sounds and traditions of a 100 year-old art form that\u2019s truly modern and still evolving. From jazz language and composition to theory classes, you\u2019ll learn music in an environment that\u2019s grounded in the traditions and leading the next wave.<\/p>\n<p>In the heart of downtown Montreal, a vibrant metropolis with a deep jazz tradition, you\u2019ll have enormous opportunity for cross-pollination with other university-level jazz students across the city. And you\u2019ll be in a rich environment for jamming and seeing the best acts in the world perform at one of the city\u2019s jazz clubs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"program-highlights parbase section\">\n<div class=\"c-grid-container\">\n<div class=\"container width940 padding-top-desktop-60px padding-bottom-desktop-60px padding-top-mobile-40px padding-bottom-mobile-30px\">\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-12 col-md-3\">\n<h2 class=\"en\">Program highlights<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"highlight col-12 col-md-9\">\n<ul>\n<li>Access to fully equipped practice rooms, recording studios, and two great performance halls<\/li>\n<li>Smart classrooms with multimedia playback capacity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-box box section\">\n<div class=\"bloc\">\n<div class=\"parsys\">\n<div class=\"reference parbase section\">\n<div class=\"cq-dd-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"c-grid-container grid-container\">\n<section class=\"black-link picturefill-container margin-top-desktop-0 margin-bottom-desktop-0 margin-top-mobile-0 margin-bottom-mobile-0\">\n<div class=\"container width940 mx-auto padding-top-desktop-60px padding-bottom-desktop-60px padding-top-mobile-60px padding-bottom-mobile-60px\">\n<div class=\"grid-container-parsys parsys\">\n<div class=\"cssinclude parbase section\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-grid-container grid-container section\">\n<section class=\"picturefill-container margin-top-desktop-0 margin-bottom-desktop-0 margin-top-mobile-0 margin-bottom-mobile-0\">\n<div class=\"container width940 mx-auto padding-top-desktop-60px padding-bottom-desktop-60px padding-top-mobile-40px padding-bottom-mobile-40px\">\n<div class=\"grid-container-parsys parsys\">\n<div class=\"c-anchor-link section\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"c-title title section\">\n<div class=\"section-header-wrapper\">\n<h2>Program structure<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-wysiwyg wysiwyg section\">\n<div class=\"rte\">\n<p>A Bachelor of Fine Arts degree takes a minimum of three or four years (90 \u2013 120 credits) of full-time study,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/academics\/degrees\/program-length.html\">depending on your academic background<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Program option<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Specialization in Jazz Studies (66 credits)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-separator section\">\n<div class=\"c-separator--transparent\">\n<hr aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-button section\">\n<div class=\"text-left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-separator section\">\n<div class=\"c-separator--transparent\">\n<hr aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-title title section\">\n<div class=\"section-header-wrapper\">\n<h3>Courses<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-wysiwyg wysiwyg section\">\n<div class=\"rte\">\n<p>For a list of required courses, please download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/finearts\/academics\/advising\/program-guides.html\">Program Guide<\/a>\u00a0according to your year of entry.\u00a0Consult the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.concordia.ca\/academics\/undergraduate\/calendar\/current\/sec81\/81-100.html#jazz\">Undergraduate Calendar<\/a>\u00a0for a complete list of current Music courses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-button section\">\n<div class=\"text-left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"c-separator section\">\n<div class=\"c-separator--transparent\">\n<hr aria-hidden=\"true\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"reference parbase section\">\n<div class=\"cq-dd-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"c-box box\">\n<div class=\"bloc footnote\">\n<div class=\"parsys\">\n<div class=\"c-wysiwyg wysiwyg section\">\n<div class=\"rte\">\n<p><span class=\"footnote\"><b>United States students<\/b>: A U.S. Federal Student Aid-eligible version of this program is offered.
