Graduate domestic and international applicants

Music programs

A note for graduate certificate applicants: Performer's Certificate applicants must possess a bachelor's degree in music.  Artist's Certificate applicants must possess a master's degree in music.

The application for Conservatory degree programs in Music includes several specific requirements.

• Artistic resume or CV: Please list all relevant music experience such as ensembles, schools, teachers, performances and awards.
• Two references: List the names and contact information of your references, and the application system will send an email to them requesting that they submit a letter of recommendation on your behalf. Letters of recommendation must be received by February 1.
• Other materials as they apply to your desired program. If your program requires a special submission such as composition portfolio, prescreening recording or writing sample, you will upload this directly to the application.
• Audition date selection: If an audition is required by your program, select one of the three scheduled audition dates on your application.
