Additional Information
Art – Communication Design is a limited access program. Acceptance to the program is obtained only through an application process each spring which includes a portfolio review, after art core courses have been completed. Admission to Texas Tech University does not ensure admission to the Communication Design Program. Students will be listed as Art Undeclared until the entrance process has been completed and the student has been accepted as a Communication Design major.
Music – Provisional acceptance into a major in music is based upon a combination of auditions, transcripts, entrance examinations, and/or interviews, depending upon the specific major. Admission to Texas Tech University does not guarantee admission to the School of Music as a music major. All entering students must audition in their declared principal applied area with the appropriate faculty. Final acceptance into any music program is based upon formal auditions in the appropriate applied and ensemble areas.
Theatre Arts and Dance – Entrance to the B.F.A. program (in Theatre Arts) is by audition and interview. Normally students applying to the B.F.A. program in Theatre Arts will initially be admitted to the B.A. program. Students usually audition for the program in their sophomore year and are admitted at the discretion of the faculty. Continuance in the program is dependent upon annual review and the faculty’s assessment of the student’s timely progress. Students whose progress is found unsatisfactory will be placed on departmental probation.
