Admission Requirements
Please see information on the School of Music Application Process. In addition:
MM candidates should submit a DVD of approximately 15 minutes in length to the Graduate Admissions Office (see Application and Audition Information page for address). This is the first step towards a possible invitation to audition in person. After reviewing the DVD, transcripts and other application materials, a candidate may be invited to audition. The Graduate Admissions Office will contact you either way.
MM candidates should prepare at least two to three contrasting selections, e.g. a movement from a major concerto (for most players this would mean a romantic concerto, but it could also be twentieth century), one movement or more of unaccompanied Bach and perhaps something else of your choice. Audition length is 15 minutes. While a live audition is preferred, a tape may be submitted in its place; however, the audition tape must be of good quality, and if you wish to be considered for financial assistance, you must send a video tape. In most cases, it is best to send a tape of selections that you feel demonstrates your playing at its best, rather than submit, for example, a complete unedited recital.

Doctoral Minor
The purpose of the doctoral minor is to add breadth and depth to the D.M.A or Ph.D degree. To insure coherence a minor program must be approved by the appropriate department, a student's advisor, and the Director of Graduate Studies, and must include courses at the 300-level or above. Typically, a minor requires 12 credits of work.
Students have a variety of options, including completing an internal minor within the School of Music (e.g., a D.M.A. conducting student who minors in ethnomusicology or a Ph.D. in music theory who minors in clarinet performance), completing a minor in a department outside the School of Music (e.g., a D.M.A. in horn performance who minors in Women's Studies or a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology who minors in East Asian studies). Students may, in consultation with the Director of Graduate Studies, devise a distributed minor that brings together courses from a variety of departments around a particular topic or area of interest. For example, a D.M.A. student in voice devises a minor in vocal health that includes courses in communicative disorders, or a Ph.D. student in musicology devises a minor in Medieval History that includes courses in art history, history, and languages.
