Good to Know

Important Notes

•February 1 deadline for music merit scholarship consideration

•Applications accepted after this date but may not be eligible for scholarships

•Scholarship is merit-based, evaluated through audition submission

•Secondary piano is required (declared and auditioned during Welcome Week and Pre-Registration); students who test out replace those credits with music electives

•Admitted students take a music theory placement test for course placement only — it does not affect admission

What's The Process

Audition Process

•Music is a dual-admission program

•Students must be accepted to both BJU and the Division of Music

•Step 1: Apply for admission to BJU

•Step 2: Complete the Division of Music section of the BJU application and submit composition portfolio materials

•A performance audition on your declared principal (keyboard, orchestral instrument, or voice) is also required

•Audition and portfolio review also serve as initial application for music merit scholarship consideration

Post-Enrollment

•Sight-reading is assessed at the beginning of the first semester of study (for course placement, not admission)

•Secondary Piano Proficiency Placement Test during Welcome Week for non-keyboard principals
