All freshman, transfer, and second-degree students
selecting music as their major must audition as part of the admissions
criteria. Applicants must be accepted both academically by the
University and musically by the music department. An in-person
performance audition is required of all bachelor of music applicants in
the classical performance track. An audio cassette
tape or CD is required for the bachelor of arts in musical studies and
sound engineering arts, and the bachelor of music jazz performance
track.
Please see the overview of Undergraduate Music Admissions, which provides a complete list of audition requirements.
All applicants for classical track programs and the bachelor of arts in musical studies must complete placment tests in theory, keyboard skills, and aural skills on scheduled audition dates. The complete evaluation of your audition — in-person and tape — by the music faculty is the most important factor in granting admission to the department.
All questions regarding admission procedures to the music department should be addressed to:
