B.A. students should consult with a B.A. Music Program Advisor to ensure that they have the necessary prerequisites prior to applying to one or more of these music programs.
Admission to the B.A. program is granted according to criteria established by the Faculty of Arts. For more information, see:

Undergraduate students interested in a more intensive music program, including practical instruction on an instrument or in voice and additional ensemble participation, should consider the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) degree or the Licentiate program (L.Mus.) offered by the Schulich School of Music; see Schulich School of Music > Undergraduate > Overview of Programs > Degrees and Diplomas Offered.

Music Ensembles
All McGill students enrolled in a degree program may audition for a variety of ensembles offered through the Schulich School of Music. The majority of the ensemble auditions take place only once a year, generally during the first week of September. If you pass the audition, you may participate in the assigned ensemble(s). Consult with your home faculty advisor to determine if you may apply the ensemble credits toward your degree. The schedule and requirements for ensemble auditions are available on the Ensemble website.

Courses Offered by the Schulich School of Music open to Bachelor of Arts students
The courses offered by the Schulich School of Music below are open to BA students. Students from other faculties may also enrol in these, provided they have the necessary prerequisites or co-requisites and/or permission from the instructor. Consult with your home faculty advisor to see how these courses may fit into your program.
Courses with a MUAR prefix are considered Arts courses. Accordingly, they do not count against the limit of 12 credits that BA students may take from outside the Faculties of Arts and Science unless required for a BA program. Note that MUAR courses are general interest courses, and do not count toward the B.Mus., L.Mus., or B.A. Major or Minor Concentration in Music programs.
Courses with prefixes MUHL, MUTH, and MUMT are considered as Faculty of Music courses. Accordingly, they count against the limit of 12 credits that BA students may take outside the Faculties of Arts and Science unless required for a BA program. More details regarding the policy for credits outside Arts and Science can be found here: mcgill.ca/oasis/academic/courses/courses-outside-faculties-arts-or-science.
