3 A’s for All Music Applicants – apply, audition, be accepted!

You must submit two (2) separate applications: one, to the College of Music, and the second, to International Admissions. You must receive acceptance by both offices. All undergraduate Music degrees require that you be accepted through audition. Graduate degrees in Music may require an audition and/or other materials along with the Music application procedure. Study the admission requirements for the music degree in which you are interested. Observe the deadlines that apply to the music degree you desire.

Apply EARLY

To be considered for admission in the Fall semester, preference will be given to applications received by the first Monday in December. Applications received after that date will be reviewed, and auditions will be scheduled on a case by case basis depending on space availability.

Apply to the College of Music – Complete the on-line College of Music application - https://www.music.unt.edu/application/student/index.php.

Audition for Us!

See the suggested repertoire for your instrument on our website:

Undergraduate degree audition repertoire

Graduate degree audition repertoire

In certain circumstances, a recording may be submitted for your audition. Mail the recording to the College of Music accompanied by the Music degree application and other materials requested on the Music application.

Getting Accepted

You will receive a written response from the College of Music a few weeks after your audition is evaluated.

F1 visa applicants will receive the I-20 letter from UNT International Admissions after you have been accepted to UNT. Some of those requirements are listed here. Complete detail is available at the website for UNT International Studies.

UNT Entrance Standards Include

  • Proficiency in English (example: TOEFL minimum: 213 cbt or 79 ibt)
  • Academic minimums (GPA) and official transcript documents from all prior degrees, entrance exams for some graduate degrees
  • International students must qualify for a US F1 student visa. Proof of financial support required.
  • Refer to the website for International Studies for more detail.

Advice About English Proficiency

If English is not your primary language, we suggest you begin efforts now to pass the TOEFL, or its equivalent, before you plan to come to UNT. UNT offers an excellent language institute for learning English, the IELI (Intensive English Language Institute). Students who are enrolled in the IELI will not begin their degree study until they complete the language program or pass the TOEFL.
