Auditions are required for admission to the Music Major and Minor and are a determining factor in the awarding of scholarship funds.

Students demonstrate their musical talent to the Music Department faculty and we learn more your music goals, and how you see yourself contributing to the life of the department.

A successful audition can lead to financial awards up to and including a full tuition scholarship.
