Admission Requirements

An interview, an audition and a theory placement examination are required of all prospective Music Majors, Music Therapy Majors and Music Education Majors.

Transfer Music Therapy and Music program student applicants must have a minimum of 2.75 cumulative GPA. Transfer Music Education program student applicants must have a minimum of 2.75 cumulative GPA. Applicants will be invited to audition if their prior music coursework reflects these respective minimum requirements.

Auditions (In-Person or On-line)

All applicants to all Music programs must audition. Applicants will be required to:

• Perform at least two contrasting pieces in their primary instrument or voice
• Interview
• Complete a Music Theory Placement Exam

Theory Placement Exam

Prospective students take a theory placement examination to ensure proper advisement and placement in courses.

Based upon the audition and theory placement exam results, successful completion of remedial work may be required prior to matriculating as a Music major in the department. Molloy University offers non-credit private instruction for non-matriculated students who may need remedial work. Private instruction may be recommended to students who are strong academically and show musicality but lack basic foundations in music.
