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 this degree must audition through the Department of Music (see the “Admissions” link at music.uncc.edu for details). If accepted by the Department of Music and admitted to the University, their major is changed to Music or Music Performance, and they proceed with major coursework.
A second performance-based assessment, the Sophomore Review, is required at the end of the Sophomore year.
