Good to Know

Application Logistics

Apply through ApplyTexas or the Schreiner University application

Coordinate music-major audition details with the Department of Music or assigned applied faculty

Transfer Pathway

BA Music transfer students can use Schreiner's guaranteed transfer admission process and credit-evaluation tools to see how prior accredited-college coursework applies to the BA Music degree plan. Students should still plan for the music-major audition/placement process because applied-music progress can affect time to degree.

What's The Process

Audition Process

Incoming music majors must audition; auditions are held during Schreiner Saturday events or may be submitted as a recording to the Admissions Office

Auditions may be used to declare the music major, qualify for ensembles, and when available, be considered for additional financial aid

Schreiner recommends completing the music-major audition by the spring semester of freshman year; starting later can extend the degree plan beyond four years

Audition Expectations

Audition may be completed live or by video

Scholarship Info

Music Scholarships

Grants and scholarships are available to music majors and non-majors who participate in ensembles
