To be admitted to the Doctor of Musical Arts degree program in music conducting on regular status, an applicant must have:
A master's degree in music from a recognized educational institution or a total of 30 credits of approved course work.
Presented a live performance audition that was acceptable to the committee appointed by the Dean of the College of Music.
When applying for admission to the Doctor of Musical Arts degree program with a major in music conducting, an applicant must specify one of the following three major areas: wind conducting, choral conducting, or orchestral conducting.
With the approval of the faculty in an applicant's major area, an applicant may be considered for admission to the program on the basis of a highquality video recording of a recent performance, rather than on the basis of a live performance audition. An applicant must submit a video recording showing a front view of the applicant conducting a minimum of 10 minutes. An applicant who submits a recording may be admitted only on provisional status pending the presentation of a live performance audition before a faculty committee appointed by the Dean of the College of Music. The audition must be presented before the end of the first semester of enrollment in the program. As part of the audition, an applicant must present a 10minute lecture on a topic related to conducting. The applicant may be asked to conduct a live performance group or to illustrate appropriate conducting techniques in relation to printed scores. The applicant may submit video and audio tape recordings of performances that he or she has conducted.
