What's The Process

Audition Process

•In-person auditions use the same music as the online audition contents

•Use clear audio with minimal background noise and place the strongest performance first for online auditions

•In-person applicants should bring all needed materials; the department provides pianos and standard percussion instruments

Scholarship Info

Scholarship Opportunities

•Talent-based music scholarships are awarded from faculty recommendations after departmental acceptance
