Transfer Student Admission Requirements

To be eligible for admission to the College of Fine Arts, a transfer student must satisfy the minimum requirements for admission as specified in the Admissions section of the Undergraduate Catalog.  Additionally, all students must complete two sequential courses of foreign language in secondary school, or 8-10 semester hours at the postsecondary level, or document an equivalent level of proficiency. 

The primary criterion for admission to the College of Fine arts is proficiency in the student's discipline.  Students are admitted to the program following completion of a satisfactory audition and have achieved an acceptable proficiency in music skills. 

Community college students, without an AA degree, who have NOT completed the required pre-professional course work will audition at the Pre-Professional level.  These students will take a theory placement exam for placement within the theory program and must then successfully pass the final Comprehensive Musicianship Exam upon completion of the theory course work assigned for remediation.
