Eligibility

Concordia evaluates transferable credit after acceptance through MyDegreeAudit

Current transfer pages publish general credit review, not a music-specific transfer pathway

Admission Pathway

BA Music students choose one concentration from Music Education, Music Ministry, Audio Production, or Applied Music

Instruments for study include voice, woodwinds, brass, percussion, strings, classical guitar, piano, and organ

Music majors complete a student recital capstone or, for Applied Music and Audio Production, an approved created/produced music presentation

What's The Process

Audition Process

Admission to the BA Music major is through the general university application

Students should apply to CTX before the music interview/audition

Music interviews happen at the beginning of the first semester enrolled

Interviews serve as the audition and determine music scholarship awards

Prepare two to four minutes of music from two contrasting pieces

Interviews take place on campus as individually scheduled during the academic year or during Embark/En Route orientations

Schedule by contacting music@concordia.edu

Scholarship Info
