Once you have submitted your UNT application, you also will need to complete the College of Music online application before you can schedule your audition.* Auditioning in person will allow you to meet with faculty and learn more about the student experience at the College of Music. Although live auditions are preferred, you also can submit a high-quality video audition through the music application online.
*To be considered for admission in the fall semester, preference will be given to applications received by the first Monday in December. Applications received after that date will be reviewed, and auditions will be scheduled on a case-by-case basis depending on space availability.
College of Music Scholarships
The College of Music awards competitive music merit scholarships based on talent and professional promise. The admissions application also serves as your scholarship application. Any competitive scholarship of $1,000 or more per academic year includes a waiver of out-of-state tuition. Scholarship recipients receive half of the total award per long semester and pay in-state tuition rates for one academic year including summer sessions.
