2. Submit the Intent to Major or Minor Form (online) as early as possible following application to the University. The priority deadline is February 1. There is no fee associated with this form. This required form is used to gather information, both musical and academic, that helps faculty understand both the background and intentions of prospective music students. Students that have worked with or been recruited by one of our performance faculty or ensemble directors still need to submit the form. Students who are not yet ready to apply can register as a prospective student to receive information and be added to our database.
