How to Apply
Only a limited number of students can be admitted each year to the minor in music, based on the available spaces in a given area. Students will only be accepted for a minor in music through the Conservatory of Music audition process. Applicants for the minor in music are required to submit the same repertoire as all other undergraduate admission applicants.
If you are a prospective student (i.e. applicants who are not current Purchase College students), you can only apply for a minor after you are admitted to Purchase College. Typically students apply for a minor after their first semester. Please email music@purchase.edu for more details.
If you are a current Purchase College student, please email music@purchase.edu for more information.
