1. a written evaluation or customary letter grade by the instructor in at least 90 percent of all courses, and
2. scores on the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). GRE scores must be no more than 5 years old at the time of application.

Both requirements must be met before an application for admission can be considered.

Entering students in music education (except M.S.), music theory, and musicology are required to take the Graduate Record Examination. GRE scores must be no more than 5 years old at the time of application.
