Undergraduate Admissions Deadlines

The Bachelor of Music program welcomes a new class of students three times a year: fall, spring, and summer. The Bachelor of Arts program currently enrolls a new class once per year starting in the fall semester. You may only apply to either the Bachelor of Music or the Bachelor of Arts program. You cannot apply to both.

You will note the program and term you are applying for in your online application form. Important deadlines and dates for each start term are listed below. After we receive your online application form, you will be scheduled for an audition and/or interview.
