University Requirements for Incoming Freshmen

The standards listed below represent the minimum levels of preparation and achievement necessary to be considered for admission. Most admitted students exceed these minimum levels. Each application is reviewed individually. When making admission decisions, the university is primarily concerned with the depth and challenge of the college-preparatory program, including the senior year; grade trends in the college-preparatory subjects; and the student’s class rank. Students whose records fall slightly below the minimum standards may receive serious consideration if their grades have been steadily improving in a challenging college-preparatory program. Conversely, declining grades or a program of less demanding courses are often reasons to deny admission.

High School Graduation
Applicants generally need a high school diploma from an accredited secondary school. Applicants holding a General Equivalency Diploma should submit the GED score. Credentials from homeschooling or from a non-accredited or nonpublic high school are assessed individually.

Academic Preparation
All prospective students must complete the following basic curriculum:

8 semesters of English
Literature, grammar, and composition. (Up to two semesters from journalism and/or speech count toward the English requirement.)

6 semesters of mathematics
Algebra, geometry, and advanced algebra.

2 semesters of laboratory science
Biology, chemistry, or physics.

4 semesters of social science
History, government, economics, psychology, or sociology.

Indiana Residents
Applicants who are Indiana residents should complete Core 40; an academic honors diploma is strongly encouraged. A minimum of 28 semesters of college-preparatory courses must be completed. These include the course work listed, plus 8 semesters in some combination of foreign language and/or additional math, lab science, or social science.

Out-of-State Residents
Applicants who are not Indiana residents should complete a minimum of 32 semesters of college-preparatory courses. That includes the course work listed in the “Academic Preparation” section on this page, plus 12 semesters in some combination of foreign language and/or additional mathematics, lab science, or social science.

Class Rank
Indiana residents should rank at least in the upper half of their school class; nonresidents generally rank at least in the upper third.

Tests
Indiana residents should score at or above the state average on the SAT (current total 990) or ACT (composite of 21). Nonresident applicants usually score a total of 1100 or higher on the SAT or have an ACT composite score of at least 25. (Note: If the applicant submits more than one set of scores, the highest SAT and/or ACT scores will be recorded.)

International Students
To be admitted, international students must complete above-average work in their supporting programs. Applicants whose native language is not English must submit the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A minimum score of 560 (paper-based), 223 (computer-based) or 84 (Internet-based) is necessary for regular admission to a degree program. International students are required to take the Indiana University English Proficiency Examination and must register for any supplemental English courses prescribed based on the results of this examination or, if necessary, enroll in the intensive English language program.

Jacobs School of Music Requirements for Incoming Freshmen

In addition to the general requirements for admission to the university, students must meet the following requirements of the Jacobs School of Music:

Students must successfully complete an audition in their major medium. Auditions are scheduled during designated weekends throughout the academic year and are heard by a committee of department faculty members appointed by the chairperson of the department. This committee evaluates the student’s performance level and makes a recommendation to the Jacobs School of Music Admissions and Recruitment Committee. The Admissions and Recruitment Committee determines whether the student can be admitted to a specific course of study by considering the student’s past record, interviews (if applicable), and the audition committee’s recommendation. Students who do not matriculate within one year of the date of the letter of acceptance must repeat the entrance audition. Audition appointments may be secured by writing to the Office of Music Admissions and Financial Aid, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405.
Each incoming freshman must take a musicianship evaluation. Students who score above 70 percent on the musicianship test are exempted from T109 Rudiments of Music I. Students who score from 50 percent to 68 percent and above may take T109 and T151 Music Theory and Literature I concurrently. Students who score below 50 percent may not take T151 until they pass T109. For more detailed information, write to the Office of Music Admissions and Financial Aid, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405, and request specific information on the Basic Musicianship test and on theory texts.

Incoming freshmen who meet general university requirements and specific music requirements, and who intend to pursue a music degree, are certified directly to the Jacobs School of Music after their initial orientation and advising.

University Requirements for Transfer Students

Indiana University welcomes students who wish to transfer from other colleges or universities.
University requirements for transfer admission include:

A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale (2.5 required for nonresidents of Indiana);
A high school record showing satisfactory entrance units;
Evidence of good standing in the institution last attended;
Transcripts of credits and grades earned in all subjects.

Acceptance of credit from other institutions is determined by the Office of Admissions, and the applicability of credit toward degree requirements in the Jacobs School of Music is determined by the director of undergraduate studies in consultation with the faculty. Only credits earned at Indiana University will count toward a student ’s grade point average. Courses from other colleges and universities may transfer as credit only.

Jacobs School of Music Requirements for Transfer Students

In addition to the general requirements for transfer admission to the university, students must audition in their major performing area for admission to a particular curriculum in the Jacobs School of Music. (See item 1 under “Jacobs School of Music Requirements for Incoming Freshmen.’’)

All credits in music from an institution other than Indiana University are subject to placement and evaluation in the Jacobs School of Music and must be validated upon entrance by examination or audition. Examinations in music theory are given only before classes begin.

Transfer students, especially those transferring for their junior and senior years, must be aware of the possibility that not all music credits will be accepted or counted toward degree requirements in the Jacobs School of Music, and that they may have to spend longer than the normally allotted time to complete their bachelor’s degrees at Indiana University.

All courses taken at another institution with the grade of Pass (P) or Fail (F) are subject to Indiana University regulations concerning the Pass/Fail option. Students who wish to use such courses to meet degree requirements in the Jacobs School of Music must obtain verification of a letter grade or the equivalent from the other institution.

Undergraduate Financial Aid and Merit Scholarships

Need-based aid is offered to qualified applicants and their families through the University Office of Student Financial Assistance. Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to apply for need-based assistance. To do so, applicants must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) available at www.fafsa.ed.gov. Please note that international students are not eligible for financial aid.

Merit-based aid is offered to qualified applicants through the Office of Music Admissions and Financial Aid. Applicants are automatically considered for Jacobs School of Music financial aid at the time of admission. The director of Music Admissions and Financial Aid, in conjunction with the Admissions and Recruitment Committee, makes the initial award based on institutional need and audition rating. An audition score in the top 10 percent on the audition/portfolio or on the area interview is ordinarily required for merit consideration. Exceptions may be made in cases of particular need, either on the part of the applicant or on the part of the school.

Merit-based assistance is made possible at the Jacobs School of Music by generous donors. The Jacobs School of Music gratefully acknowledges all persons and institutions who support our students and faculty by providing endowed funds and annual gifts. For more information about giving and endowed funds at the Jacobs School of Music, visit www.music.indiana.edu.

Returning Students

Undergraduate students who, after matriculation, do not register for classes for more than one calendar year must audition for readmission to the Jacobs School of Music.

Undergraduate Visiting Students

A limited number of undergraduate-level students with interest in the study of music may be admitted as visiting students, subject to the following:

Visiting students at the undergraduate level must audition for a faculty committee, be accepted by a particular faculty member for instruction, and be approved by the Admissions and Recruitment Committee of the Jacobs School of Music. Visiting students may be admitted for the summer session only if they have been accepted by an individual faculty member. Undergraduate visiting students accepted during the summer session who wish to continue study during the regular academic year must audition for a faculty committee.
Undergraduate visiting students must register for a minimum of 12 credit hours (4 credit hours in the summer), including major ensemble courses. All courses other than performance study, ensembles, and chamber music require approval of the director of undergraduate studies.
Undergraduate visiting students may attend a maximum of two semesters during the academic year and four summer sessions.
Undergraduate visiting students are not eligible for financial aid from the Jacobs School of Music during the fall and spring semesters.
Credits earned as an undergraduate visiting student may be applied toward a degree or diploma only with the permission of the director of undergraduate studies. Undergraduate visiting students wishing to change to degree or diploma status must complete the application process of the Jacobs School of Music and Indiana University.

Nonmajors

The Jacobs School of Music offers a number of music courses, performance study options, and ensembles especially designed for students majoring in fields other than music. In addition, qualified nonmajors are welcome to participate in music major academic courses, performance courses, or ensembles on a space-available basis. Under certain conditions, credit for these courses is accepted toward degree requirements in other schools and departments. At the time of registration, proper approval must be secured from the chairperson of the student’s major department or the dean of the school, as well as from the director of undergraduate studies in the Jacobs School of Music.

Orientation

Upon admission to Indiana University Bloomington, students begin their orientation to this campus. After receiving a letter acknowledging their admission from the director of admissions, students receive a series of orientation brochures.

Students who plan to enter Indiana University in the fall semester should attend the summer orientation and registration program or may participate in orientation and registration in August before the beginning of classes. At these times, special attention is given to students’ preparation for academic adjustment and achievement. Welcome Week in August includes the Freshman Family Picnic; Freshman Induction Ceremony; the president’s and vice president’s receptions; and numerous academic activities, including advanced placement testing and sessions on learning in a large lecture, studying a foreign language, and learning study techniques. Opportunities to learn about getting involved in activities on campus, taking advantage of cultural events, and finding the locations of offices and classrooms also are a part of orientation. Additional opportunities to interact with faculty and to participate in special workshops and skill-building sessions are scheduled throughout the year. Students living in residence centers may participate in a variety of activities planned especially for the centers.

Advising

The Jacobs School of Music provides a staff of advisors for all new students and a general academic advisor for all undergraduate students. Preregistration conferences are held in the middle of each semester for the following semester. Students currently enrolled should have programs planned at that time to speed the registration process. Students should also consult the undergraduate advisor at other times of the year for answers to specific questions or help with individual problems. Indiana University provides a computer-based degree audit system that outlines degree requirements and indicates those courses taken by the student that meet those requirements. This system is available online at all times to students through the university computing system.

Although the Jacobs School of Music provides advising services, it is the student’s responsibility to be acquainted with school rules and regulations and to meet the requirements for the degree as outlined in this bulletin. Any exceptions to the requirements stated in this bulletin must be approved in writing by the dean of the Jacobs School of Music or the director of undergraduate studies, with one copy for the student and one copy for the student’s file.

Return to General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees

Residence

No candidate will be recommended for the bachelor’s degree who has been in residence less than 36 weeks and who has earned fewer than 30 hours of credit in residence. Students carrying less than a normal load receive residence in proportion to the number of credit hours carried, at the rate of six weeks of residence for each 5 credit hours completed. At least 26 credit hours of the work as a senior must be completed in residence on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University.

Time Limit

Work for a bachelor’s degree must be completed within seven years from the time the student first registers in the Jacobs School of Music. A student who fails to comply with this requirement must pass comprehensive examinations in all music subjects and meet current requirements for the degree. Should degree work be interrupted because of military service, the time thus spent is not counted as part of the time limitation.

Work for the Bachelor of Music degree and the Bachelor of Science in Music and an Outside Field degree can be completed in eight semesters if the student takes an average of 16 to 18 credits per semester. Work for the Bachelor of Music Education degree can be completed in eight semesters if the student takes an average of 19 credit hours per semester. Students entering with deficiencies in music theory or performance or on academic probation should not expect to complete their degrees in eight semesters.

Return to General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees

Keyboard Proficiency

All music bachelor’s students (except ballet and recording arts) must pass a keyboard proficiency examination or its equivalent. The proficiency examination tests ability to use the keyboard or equivalent instrument as a tool within the framework of individual professional activities; thus, the requirements vary in emphasis according to the area of major study. The test is given during the latter half of each semester; specific dates are available from the secondary piano coordinator. Entering students who are prepared to take the examination may do so during the orientation period. Students must follow the keyboard sequence and proficiency exam requirements described under each bachelor’s degree. Guitar, harp and harpsichord majors must demonstrate the equivalent of the keyboard proficiency skills on their instrument. Students must register for secondary piano as required until the keyboard proficiency requirement is met. The keyboard proficiency test is taken with the consent of the student’s secondary or class piano instructor. Information regarding specific keyboard proficiency requirements for each major is available in the music undergraduate office and at www.music.indiana.edu/som/sec_piano.
