To gain admission to the B.Mus. in Performance, a student must
pass an entrance audition before a faculty jury of three, to be
appointed by the chairperson. The audition will occur near the end
of the second semester of college and must demonstrate the student’s
ability to perform well challenging repertoire representing several
historical periods and styles. A student wishing to perform an entrance
audition must notify the chairperson in writing at least three weeks
prior to the audition. Only after passing the entrance audition
may the student declare as a major the B.Mus. in Performance. A
student who does not pass the entrance audition in the second semester
may have a second opportunity in the third semester. To gain admission
to the B.Mus in Theory/Composition, a student must, near the end
of the third semester of college, submit to the chairperson a portfolio
of two or more completed original scores. These compositions must
be accompanied by a letter stating the student’s wish to seek
the B.Mus. in Theory/Composition. The chairperson will appoint a
faculty committee of three to review the portfolio. Only after receiving
the committee’s approval of the submitted works may the student
declare as a major the B.Mus. in Theory/Composition. A student who
does not pass the portfolio review in the third semester may have
a second opportunity in the fourth semester. A prospective candidate
for the B.Mus. in Performance or Theory/Composition may declare
a major in Music prior to the semesters stated above. The student
will be listed as a candidate for the B.A. Music until he or she
passes the audition or portfolio review.
