APPLICATION LOGISTICS

•Apply through ACC's online application as a traditional degree-seeking student; there is no separate musical theater application or prescreen portal.

•Admissions are rolling.

•Returning credit students in a credit degree or certificate program do not reapply; they meet with an advisor before registering.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

•Musical Theater majors complete both music department intake forms and a face-to-face lesson placement audition before registering for music classes.

•Prepare two different pieces or exercises that show different aspects of your training.

•Fall 2026 placement dates: May 15, June 5, June 26, and July 24, 2026.

•Questions: music@austincc.edu or 737-203-6185.

What's The Process

AUDITION PROCESS

•No admission audition, prescreen, or interview is required for the AA Musical Theater degree.

•After admission, faculty use the music lesson placement audition to place you into the correct private-lesson level and advise your schedule.

•The placement audition is for lesson level and registration support, not competitive admission to the program.

•Scholarship auditions are separate from admission and only apply if you pursue the freshman departmental scholarship.
