Both day and evening sessions are held Monday through Thursday, and some classes also meet Friday mornings. A schedule of courses listing instructors and room assignments is available at the time of registration.
All instruction is given in English.
Course numbers are not necessarily related to levels of difficulty or to course sequences required in the various curricula. The credit value of each course is indicated in terms of semester hours. At least one 50-minute period per week for one semester is required for each credit. Most classes are conducted on the basis of general instruction and individual attention,a system that invites cooperation by students of various levels in listening and performing. Subjects in liturgical music seminars are arranged in cycles and are not repeated each term.
