All prospective music majors and minors follow the application procedures established by the university through the Office of Admissions.

Admission to the Department of Music requires an additional audition in one's performance area. Formal live auditions are held late January or early February; tapes or CDs can also be submitted for review by the music faculty. The audition serves an added function–consideration for music scholarships. Money is available through a variety of scholarship funds and often prove to be a beneficial component of a student's financial package. More information on available financial aid can be obtained through the Office of Financial Aid.
