The Yale School of Music's composition program draws global talent with its world-renowned faculty and abundant performance venues across campus. Specializing in acoustic composition, the program also fosters exploration of electronic music, recording technologies, and analysis of both tonal and atonal works. Students are encouraged to maintain their instrumental or conducting practice alongside composition studies. Regular performances of student works occur through solo recitals, chamber groups, orchestral presentations, and the New Music New Haven series. Composition majors must create sufficient material for a complete recital before graduation. The program hosts prominent visiting composers for seminars, while alumni have earned prestigious honors including Pulitzer Prizes, Grammy Awards, and Grawemeyer Awards, along with residencies with major orchestras and arts organizations.

Qualification Requirements
Request recommendations from two teachers who have taught you in core academic subjects (e.g. English, Foreign Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies) who know you well, and who have seen you at your best. It is preferable, but not required, that recommendations come from teachers who have taught you during your final or next-to-final year of secondary school. Your counselor or other school official should submit a School Report with an official transcript that includes all your secondary school courses. If a question on the School Report form is not applicable to your secondary school, leave it blank. In response to the extraordinary circumstances associated with the pandemic, Yale is temporarily suspending its requirement that first-year and transfer applicants submit results from the ACT or SAT. The change will be in effect during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 admissions cycles for applicants who intend to matriculate in fall 2021 or fall 2022. 100 on the internet-based TOEFL. 25 on each of the three sections of the paper-and-pencil TOEFL Paper-delivered Test. IELTS scores of 7.
