Admission Requirements
Please see information on the School of Music Application Process. In addition:

Prospective students must complete the graduate application process.  The personal statement should address the reasons for selecting the Strings Development degree, specifically in terms of professional goals. String players who would like to be considered for placement in one of the applied studios (on the major instrument) will be required to play an audition; studio space is limited. The degree itself does not require an audition, but the applicant's file will be reviewed by the string area.
