General requirements

Admission to a music education program is contingent upon passing an audition. Auditions are highly competitive with students normally having studied a primary instrument one-on-one with an instructor for a number of years.

Auditions are held throughout the academic year. Incoming freshmen normally take the audition during the winter of their senior year of high school; transfer students one semester prior to the term in which they plan to enroll.

Students applying for the program in music education are also required to pass an interview with the music education faculty.
