Admissions Requirements for Music

Audition requirements and dates are published annually. Students also have the option of submitting their audition electronically.

Non-Music Majors
Non-music majors are welcome and form an integral part of the musical/cultural life of the University. Admission to the University Ensembles and eligibility for scholarships is by audition only.
