ADMISSION GUIDELINES

 

The B.M. in Music Technology track is designed for candidates who have a background in music (instrumental or vocal), and who are also interested in computers, mathematics, or physics. Performance on a traditional instrument or voice is required. Additionally, a basic working knowledge of music software such as Finale, Sibelius, Cakewalk, and Pro Tools is highly desired. Most Music Technology majors will begin with Introduction to MIDI Technology (MUC 1342) and continue through the sequence of music technology courses, although the exceptional student may enter in Electronic Music I (MUC 2301).

Students must be admitted into the University and the School of Music before admission into the Music Technology program is possible. Entrance into the University is contingent upon SAT scores and overall GPA in high school, while entrance into the School of Music is determined by audition.

After a student is admitted to the University and the School of Music, admission into the Music Technology program is contingent upon the approval of the area Director and related faculty, and is dependent upon the performance of the student in the Introduction to MIDI Technology course and/or the student’s portfolio of software, hardware, and electro-acoustic composition, and sound design.
