Admission is highly competitive for all music programs. We urge all students to complete admission applications and schedule appointments for the earliest possible dates. (Intended freshman should do so no later than March.)

Admission to the Cali School of Music requires you to complete two separate applications:

1. To the University

2. To the Cali School (requiring an online or written application, skills testing and audition)

See the Academic Programs section of this website for information on individual programs.

See the Admissions Undergraduate or Graduate pages for more information about the following audition dates, audition requirements, and for links to the online University and Cali School audition applications.
