Undergraduate – Application Procedure

A complete application for a music degree at Texas Tech University has three parts:

  • Application to Texas Tech University
  • Application to the School of Music    (Audition Application)
  • An audition for School of Music faculty

Application to the University

Your application to Texas Tech University is handled by the Office of Admissions and can be easily done online. General information that applies to all undergraduate degrees, including housing, financial aid, and campus life, can be found on their website for prospective students.  (http://www.depts.ttu.edu/gototexastech)

Application to the School of Music

In addition to your University application, you will need to file a separate application to the School of Music. This application will contain more detailed information about your musical background and interests and is also available online. This application should be submitted concurrently with your university application.

Music Major Scholarship Application

Every audition for admission to the School of Music also serves as an audition for a music major scholarship. Although there is not a separate scholarship application for the School of Music, all students must complete the application for a general scholarship that is available at www.applytexas.org. A student does not have to be admitted to TTU in order to submit that scholarship application. The scholarship application may be done as soon as the student has submitted the admission application and there is not a submission fee. The general scholarship application deadline for all entering freshmen and entering transfer students is February 1st of each year.

School of Music Audition

The final step in the application process is an audition for School of Music faculty. Students are encouraged to play a live audition for the faculty in Lubbock on one of our scheduled audition days. If this is not possible, other audition arrangements can be made through the Coordinator of Admissions and Scholarships, Carin Wanner.

On campus audition days for entrance in Fall 2010 are:

  • February 20, 2010
  • February 27, 2010
  • Private Audition to be scheduled via Coordinator of Admissions and Scholarships

Audition requirements for the various programs can be found here.

During your audition, you will also be given a music theory placement exam. This exam is for placement purposes only and has no bearing on acceptance into the school. Information on preparing for this exam can be found here.
