Composition Portfolio Information

Composition (BM)

l  Undergraduate students interested in declaring composition as a major will audition on their concentration instrument or voice during one of the scheduled audition dates; application and audition procedures are available on the College of Music website.

l  There is no portfolio requirement for new undergraduate composition students. Once accepted to the College of Music, prospective composition majors must meet with the academic advisor during one of the summer orientation sessions prior to admission.

l  Any student accepted to the College of Music may initiate studies in the undergraduate composition program through open enrollment in Beginning Composition I-II (MUCP 1180-1190); prospective composition majors will be admitted to the Bachelor of Arts degree in Music, and may be considered for the Bachelor of Music degree in Composition once they have met the following requirements:

ü  Completion of MUCP 1180-1190 with no grade lower than B.

ü  Completion of MUTH 1400-1410 and 1500-1510 with no grade lower than B.

ü  Successful completion of the Freshman Barrier Examination.

ü  Acceptance at the concentration level on an instrument or voice.

ü  Continuous enrollment in a music laboratory.

ü  Regular attendance at composition division events, including Music Now.

ü  Consent of the composition faculty.

Students who meet all of the above requirements may be coded as "Music Composition" (MUCP), but are considered provisional composition majors until they have successfully completed the undergraduate composition jury at the end of the sophomore year.
