Admission as music major
or minor
Incoming
freshmen or transfer students who fall into
one or more of the following categories are
required to pass an entrance audition in their
primary performance area prior to registration
as a music major/minor.
- Students
wishing to major in music through the B.M.
degree in the College of Musical Arts or the
B.A. degree in the College of Arts and Sciences.
- Students
who wish to minor in music and are enrolled
in any BGSU college.
- Students
from any college at BGSU who wish to be considered
for a Music Talent Award from the College
of Musical Arts.
- Students
from any college at BGSU who wish to enroll
for private music lessons for credit. (Non-credit
applied music lessons are available through
the Creative Arts Program without an audition.)
- Students
who wish to major in composition must also
submit a portfolio of works before or at the
time of their entrance audition.
Students
auditioning to be majors or minors are required
to take a diagnostic examination in general
musicianship to determine placement in music
theory courses. A study guide is available from
the College of Musical Arts admissions office
prior to the examination. Students will be notified
of the results of their audition and the diagnostic
examination approximately three weeks following
their audition.
There
may be additional requirements to be fully accepted
into your major within music. Applicants with
performance skills in other areas are encouraged
to audition in those areas as well.
Entrance
auditions prior to enrollment are not required
for students who do not fall into one of the
five categories listed above.

tours of the Moore Musical Arts Center may be
