Credit earned in MVO 5050 cannot be applied toward a degree program. MM (non-performance majors) and MME students who have not passed auditions for MV_ 5351-6 are sometimes placed in this holding number until they do so. As a result of the audition, students can qualify for the performance levels defined below: MASTER OF ARTS DEGREES The audition requirements for each area and degree program are listed in the College of Music Bulletin or can be obtained from the Graduate Music Office (or online at ).


An applied placement audition is not required for Arts Administration, Musicology, Composition, Music Therapy, Music Education, and Theory students. Performance majors who have previously been accepted via a recorded audition are required to reaffirm that placement by a live audition at the time they enter the College of Music. Guidelines may vary from area to area, but typically all incoming graduate students in our Master of Arts degree programs (with the exception of Arts Administration) who have not auditioned for the College of Music are required to audition for placement purposes (see Examination: Graduate Music Classification). Applied placement auditions are held individually before a faculty committee in the student’s performance area and are designed to evaluate the student’s performance ability.
