Next Steps
Important! Official admission offers are sent by the University Admissions office, not the Music Department. If you are admitted to the University, you are admitted into the B.A. in Music. What we will send you is your Music Department Scholarship offer within a few days of either receiving your materials online, or hearing you in person.
Please note:
- It is required for all B.A. in Music majors to successfully take at least four (4) semester units of applied (private) lessons.
- All music majors in the B.A. In Music program require a successful applied area placement in order to start taking lessons in their primary area of study. Students only do this once. Once in lessons, students follow the applied jury schedule depending on their entry level.
- You don't need to complete your applied area placement right away when you start the B.A. in Music (very common for 1st-year students who can build up musicianship before taking lessons), but if you want to graduate in two (2) years (most transfer students), you should expect to start lessons right away.
Applied area placements can take place at anytime, up until the start of the Fall or Spring semesters. Scholarship audition materials will be considered applied area placements for those applicants who complete them.
Feel free to reach out to the Music Department for any questions, big or small!
