:: Bachelor of Arts in Music
::
Designed for the student who wants a broad education in music,
the Bachelor of Arts degree offers a balanced program of study
in a wide range of subjects. In addition to the traditional
emphasis on music theory, history and performance, Cal Poly's
program includes American music, music of non-Western cultures,
and the application of sound design. The program provides
a large number of elective courses which allows the student
to concentrate in a particular area or combine music with
other subjects.

Admission
Because the Music Department wants to help students make
the best decision regarding their college career, in addition
to the CSU application process, we have established an additional
level of application that is required in order to be considered
for admission to the music program. This consists of a Supplementary
Application Form and an audition/interview.
Admission to the Music Department is during the Fall
Quarter only. If, for some reason, a different quarter
would be preferable, then it is best to apply for the Fall
and then request a deferral, if necessary. The supplementary
application process is as follows:
-
Once a CSU application has been submitted to Cal Poly
(by the November 30 deadline), the Admissions Office will
forward the student's name and other pertinent data to
our department.
-
Between December and January, we will send out our Supplementary
Application packet, which also includes information on
financial aid and scholarships. There is the option of
either submitting an audition recording or scheduling
a time for an interview/audition (dates will be included
with the packet). An in-person audition is highly recommended
and preferable to a recorded audition. If a recording
is submitted, the student still may be asked to perform
a live audition if there are any questions. Acceptance
notifications generally go out in mid-March.
-
To apply for a scholarship, an in-person audition is
required.
Apply to Cal Poly from the the Web page of the Cal
Poly Admissions Office at http://www.ess.calpoly.edu/_admiss/.
For general Cal Poly admissions questions, you should contact
the Admissions
Office.
Apply as an Internal Transfer to the Music Department.
This is an option for students already attending Cal Poly
who wish to change majors or add a major. For guidelines,
