Transfer Pathway

This is a transfer pathway degree built to transfer into a four-year program. Confirm which universities it articulates to, and which credits carry over, before you enroll.

What's The Process

No Audition Required

Northwest Vista College has open-door admission and publishes no entrance audition, prescreen, portfolio, or interview for the Music AA

Ensemble participation and applied-study placement occur after enrollment

Scholarship Info

Scholarship

The Jack Stone Endowed Music Scholarship is open to Northwest Vista College music majors

Eligibility requires financial need, a minimum 2.00 GPA, full- or part-time enrollment, and recognizable musical talent as determined by music faculty

The award amount varies

The competitive award uses the Alamo Colleges Foundation General Application; the official opportunity page says there is no additional process after that application
