Application requirements

For prospective majors in musicology (including Western music history and world music), the audition process has two parts:

1. You must submit a short research paper (7-12 pages double-spaced) no later than Feb. 1 via your applicant portal. This paper will be evaluated for clarity, accuracy听and critical acuity. It need not be on music but should rather represent your best work in any field and show your ability to research a topic and evaluate information critically.
2. You must pass an audition on an orchestral instrument, piano, organ, voice听or classical guitar听at the appropriate level. The audition will be evaluated jointly by a minimum of two musicologists and two applied faculty in relevant performance area or areas.

   Live auditions are strongly preferred. Please refer to the recorded audition guidelines for recording submissions.
