In addition to the requirements in the preceding paragraph, applicants for the Master of Music in Performance program must complete a successful performance audition in the intended emphasis (Choral Conducting, Instrumental Conducting, Instrumental Performance, Piano Performance, or Vocal Performance), which places the student at the equivalence of an undergraduate senior recital in the intended emphasis area. Additional materials (portfolio, letters of recommendation, repertoire lists, etc.) appropriate to the specific emphasis may be required in each emphasis by the appropriate program specialist and applied committee.
You must submit an official transcript accompanied by a translation into English if needed. If your credentials cannot be evaluated by the Office of International Admissions, you are required to submit your academic credentials to an evaluation service and pay the cost of the evaluation.
If your native language is not English and you do not have a degree from a regionally accredited U.S. college or university, you must have a minimum score on one of the following exams:
A score of 79/120 on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (T.O.E.F.L.)
