All students completing Bachelor of Music degree programs except those in music theory, music history, or music education, shall present an acceptable senior recital in public to be graded by members of the faculty, as partial fulfillment of degree requirements.

However, the admissions committee will consider complete applications throughout the year except when a particular program is full. At that time further processing of applications in the program will be discontinued. Voice Prescreening Recording deadline is the Friday after Thanksgiving. Flute applicants must submit their prescreening recordings by January 2.
