Undergraduate Admissions
Visit the Undergraduate Admissions website for information about the general freshman and transfer application process.
Music Audition
To audition, students submit an audition request by regular mail or online. Forms must be received two weeks before the audition date to guarantee a place.
To inquire about late admission, contact the Director of the School of Music.
Undergraduate applicants should prepare a piece by J.S. Bach and a piece of contrasting style for the organ audition. Sightreading a hymn and a major scale will also be expected. Applicants who are interested in a church position should inform Dr. Faythe Freese at the interview.
Scholarships
For information about general scholarships for freshman and transfer students, visit the Undergraduate Scholarships website.
Students who audition for admission will be considered automatically for all available music scholarships. However, admission to the University of Alabama must be granted before a scholarship can be awarded. The School of Music has its own scholarship fund, distributed as follows:
- The School of Music makes awards according to performing or creative talent.
- Awards can carry up to the amount of full tuition.
- Awards are restricted to students enrolled as music majors in the School of Music B.M. or B.S. degree programs. Students in the School’s B.A. programs are not eligible for School of Music scholarships.
- As per University policy, the amount of a music scholarship may be reduced should a student receive other scholarship awards from The University of Alabama.
