For specific requirements for Master's and Doctoral degrees, refer to:http://music.unt.edu/admissions/graduate. Auditions are scheduled for on-campus and off-campus locations.

Auditions are held on campus on designated dates early in the spring semester. Apply EARLY . Repertoire suggestions for auditions are provided on the COM website: music.unt.edu/admissions

To pursue a degree in music, you must be accepted by the College of Music using the application and audition procedure described on the COM website. Acceptance by the University Admissions alone does not guarantee admission to a music degree program. A successful audition and written notification from the College of Music is required for acceptance to a degree program in music.

In addition to applying to the College of Music using the process described at music.unt.edu/admissions, specific information regarding the jazz studies audition requirements at http://jazz.unt.edu/admission-auditions.

Admission decisions will be sent via email following the final on-campus audition date. 

We offer three categories of applied lessons: MUAS (applied secondary study - elective and non-degree only), MUAC (applied concentration - required for all music degrees other than Performance) and MUAM (applied major - required for all degrees in Performance).

Scholarship notifications are sent during the month of April. 

Yes. All applicants are considered for music scholarships based on the music application and audition/portfolio. Scholarship decisions are made in April. 

Students who have not passed the TOEFL sometimes apply for IELI (English language study) only, intending to audition after they are English-proficient. These students may receive undergraduate "conditional admission" from UNT Admissions. Acceptance into a music degree program IS NOT guaranteed. In this situation, though it may be possible to take several of the courses required for music degrees, it is NOT possible to take the degree-required lessons until one has been accepted into a specific degree program. Without the required lessons, the student can only partially satisfy the degree requirements. Therefore, electing to come to UNT prior to auditioning and receiving written acceptance is not advisable and will extend the time required to complete a degree. ( Acceptance to the University does NOT guarantee acceptance for a degree program in the College of Music .)

Some IELI students may receive special permission to study applied music (private instruction for university undergraduate credit). You must see Jessie Niu personally to request this permission. ( jessie.niu@unt.edu ). This permission must be requested prior to the start of a new semester.
