To apply for admission, all applicants to the D.M.A. must submit an official application, transcripts, recommendations, and other materials as instructed on the application. The deadline for applications is December 1 for the Fall Term and September 15 for the Winter Term.
International applicants whose language is not English must submit a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) score or the Michigan English Language Battery (MELAB) score before the audition may be scheduled.
Applicants are also required to submit a comprehensive list of the repertoire you have studied. Indicate on the application or an attachment the works you intend to perform for your audition. Be prepared to perform a varied program of at least 30 to 45 minutes’ duration selected from the repertoire specified below.
No action can be taken on your application until your application file is complete and the audition is complete.
Admission to the doctoral program does not guarantee that the student will ultimately complete the course requirements, become a candidate, or receive the degree. Admission implies only that the applicant has the requisite background and should be given the opportunity to demonstrate his or her ability. A master's degree in the applicant's proposed field of specialization, or its equivalent, is a prerequisite for admission.
