Admissions: New Students
New students must meet the general requirements for admission to the
University. Additionally, a 10-minute audition is required in the applicant's
major performance field to determine proficiency and placement in the
appropriate applied level.
Auditions serve as criteria for admission and for scholarships and are held
during the late fall and early winter. Auditions are advisory in nature regarding performance level. It is preferred that auditions
take place at the Conservatory. In cases of extreme distance or scheduling
problems, a taped audition may be submitted by the applicant.
