Understanding Auditions and Admissions
- Gain admission to the university
- Gain admission to the music program through an audition process
1. Admission to the university – Admission is generally based on the student's academic credentials as exemplified by SAT or ACT scores, the student's high school college prep GPA, the quality of thought and expressions in the student's essay, and recommendations received from teachers and other persons who can speak for the student.
2. Admission to the music program – Students must audition for acceptance into the music program. The audition will also be used to place students into the appropriate level of applied study (private lessons).
Students must take a music theory placement test at the time of their audition. Those who are not prepared for college level study in music theory are required to take the Online Music Theory Prep Course, a self-directed program which will prepare them to begin the college theory sequence in the Fall.
