You have two options by which you may apply for the Summer 2007:
OPTION ONE
Begin study as a non-degree seeking graduate student. Later, after the regular graduate school application is completed with all accompanying materials, hours earned in non-degree status may be applied toward the degree. You may have the non-degree seeking student status for one summer only if you wish to pursue the degree.
Advantage: Less fuss for this particular summer session.
Disadvantage: Paying two application fees.
The deadline for having all materials arrive for non-degree seeking graduate status is May 15. After that date, late fees will be in effect for enrollment.
For non-degree seeking graduate study application:
- Have a bachelor's degree and an undergraduate and graduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher on a 4-point scale.
- Download the application form
- N.B. Check the Non-Degree "A" box. Non-degree C or Z will not enable you to apply courses toward a degree.

Then play or sing three contrasting pieces of music either from different time periods or of different styles (according to your best applied music skill). For those musical works that are lengthy, perform only one movement. If voice is not your applied instrument, you must also sing one or two songs (accompanied or a cappella) for a total duration of 2-3 minutes.
