Admission for all degree programs in Early Music is by audition. For audition purposes, a demonstration of general musicianship is more important than knowledge of historical performance practice. Students should perform two or more contrasting pieces (at least 15 minutes total) from their repertoire.

Admission to all Early Music graduate programs is conditional upon passing a hearing during the second semester of residence which demonstrates satisfactory progress toward the anticipated successful completion of the program.

Pre-requisites:

B.M.: Admission to a standard university undergraduate degree program.

M.M.: Bachelor of music degree or its demonstrated equivalent.

D.M.: Master's degree with the same major or its demonstrated equivalent, which may be offered in partial fulfillment of major or minor field requirements, subject to evaluation and acceptance.

Non-degree programs

Admission to the Artist Diploma or Performer Diploma requires an audition. Final admission to the Artist Diploma occurs during the first semester of study after an audition for the Artist Diploma Committee. Specific audition requirements for the Artist or Performer Diplomas are the same as the graduate audition requirements.

The Visiting Student enrollment option requires an audition in accordance with the graduate audition requirements for each instrument as well as permission from a faculty member for instruction.
