Callbacks

 

The DMA audition process will take four days. In general, you should plan to be available for the entire day following your scheduled interview.

 

You must be available for all portions of the audition process in order to be considered for admission.

 

Upon the strong recommendation of the panel, you may be invited to a required interview with members of the Doctoral Governance Committee, usually on the day following your interview. DMA Interviews are scheduled daily by the Admissions Office as audition results become available. This interview is, in effect, your final callback.

 

If you are not invited to the DMA interview, you may reasonably conclude that you are no longer under consideration for admission.

 

You must also take a written exam in music theory and music history, in addition to the composition exam. DMA exams are given Monday through Friday during the audition week and include exercises in harmonization and counterpoint, as well as a music history component. In general, only those invited to DMA interview need write the exam; however, it may be written on any date that it is offered.
