Department Admissions

Admission to the Department of Music is by audition only. All entering freshmen and undergraduate transfer students who have been admitted to the University are required to pass an audition and take a theory placement examination. Students wishing to audition should prepare solo or etude material of 10 minutes in length demonstrating both technical and lyrical skills. The theory placement test is offered on each audition day and is used to determine the appropriate theory class in which the student is to enroll.

Specific information regarding individual audition requirements and dates may be obtained from the Department of Music Office, or by calling 562.985.4781. In addition, prospective students must take a theory placement exam.
