The Artist Diploma is a professional one-year program for instrumental, piano or voice, and is designed to enable students to expand their knowledge of repertoire and technique, and to further their personal performance skills and musical understanding. The Artist Diploma program is designed with flexibility in mind so its candidates can focus their energies exclusively on performance and performance-related study.

Please note that the University is currently engaged in a recertification process with SEVP and cannot admit international students into the Artist Diploma program. Campbellsville University should be able to reinstate admissions by Fall 2013.
