Admissions Requirements
In addition to meeting the regular university admission requirements, a music audition and/or interview is required to be accepted as a Bachelor of Arts in Music major. During this audition, students
must demonstrate proficiency in instrumental or vocal performance and should have had considerable experience in school or community musical organizations. The prospective student should play or sing a solo of their own selection and should demonstrate ability in sight-reading and basic knowledge of music fundamentals. An interview portion will be used to display additional skills and knowledge of the student and for the faculty to gain insight into the student’s interest and goals in music. Subsequently, the audition panel may propose initial program goals and outcomes for the student and advise potential minors. Prospective students should arrange for their audition by contacting the Chair of the Department of Music and Theater music@westliberty.edu at the same time they apply to the Office of Admissions.
