Additionally, a 21-credit certificate in Music Technology and a 15-credit Minor in Music History and Theory are offered. A wide-range of courses is open to all students and include music theory, composition, music history, music technology, rock music, jazz and world music. The Music programs integrate a multidisciplinary learning approach exploring past, present and future directions of music that are designed to cultivate “thinking musicians.” This major is designed for students who have a passion for music, its traditions and what might lie beyond past and current practices.
US universities use a holistic admissions review. Beyond grades and standardized test scores, they weigh the strength of your overall profile to understand who you are as a student and a person.
Profile Assessment: Creative-field applicants may be assessed through academic preparation, creative ability, visual thinking and, where required, a portfolio. The portfolio may include finished work as well as sketches, experimentation, process development and written explanations. Architecture may value Mathematics, Physics, drawing and spatial thinking, while Art, Design and Fashion programs may place greater emphasis on originality, technical development and the creative process.Advanced Placement(AP) Guidance: AP availability depends on the student's school. Relevant APs can strengthen an application and may earn university credit, but are not compulsory unless the university or programme explicitly requires them.Essays & recommendations: Personal essays and teacher/counselor recommendations give context to your achievements and help demonstrate fit with the program.MusicianComposer
