Applicants generally have a baccalaureate degree in music or a closely related area from an accredited institution. Students whose undergraduate degree is in another discipline must demonstrate a level of achievement fully acceptable for masters level work in this discipline. Without a degree in music, applicants normally complete at least 16 credits in music theory, 6 credits in music history, and 12 credits in performance. A candidate deficient in certain undergraduate areas must remove the deficiencies by successfully completing appropriate courses.
The application contains 5 sections:
