This is your opportunity to share your creative work, technical skills, unique perspective, and artistic voice directly with our faculty review committees. We encourage you to carefully select pieces or prepare performance material that best represents your abilities, your potential, and your passion. Authenticity and a willingness to explore are highly valued. General guidelines are provided during the application process, tailored to each specific program area.
Application Timing & Planning Your Journey
Applications are typically accepted for enrollment beginning in the fall semester each year. We encourage prospective students and their families to begin exploring our programs and admission requirements well in advance. As you look towards the next academic year and plan your educational future, taking the time to thoughtfully prepare your application materials, portfolio, or audition pieces is highly recommended.
