Admission to the graduate-degree programs is based on evidence of ability to be successful in graduate study. Other criteria include: · Completion of the bachelor of music degree, or equivalent, from an accredited institution. · A cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (A = 4.0). · Three letters of recommendation. · Demonstration of special competence in the major area, including an audition for applied (performance) majors. · Voice applicants must demonstrate competence in Italian, French, and German diction by audition and written IPA exam. The applicant’s undergraduate preparation should be related to the intended graduate major. If deficiencies exist in the bachelor of music equivalent (resulting, for example, from having completed a different degree or attempting to change the major emphasis), students may, with approval of the graduate studies committee, be admitted to the Graduate Division as non-degree students for the purpose of removing deficiencies.
