Admission Requirements
Admission is competitive for both freshman and transfer applicants based on an audition interview. All applicants must first apply to the UNC Charlotte Office of Undergraduate Admissions. If students are admissible based on applicable freshman admission or transfer admission standards, they are admitted as Pre-Music majors.
Students interested in pursuing the Bachelor of Arts must audition through the Department of Music (see the “Admissions” link at music.uncc.edu for details). If the student is approved for acceptance after the audition, their major is changed to Music or Music Performance and they proceed with major coursework. If the student is not accepted as a Music major after the audition, they will be asked to choose another major at the University. A second performance-based assessment, the Sophomore Review, is required at the end of the Sophomore year.
Interested students should contact the Performing Arts Academic Advisor as soon as possible for advising. A decision later than Freshman year to begin major courses may result in a delayed graduation date.
