The application deadline for all programs is Dec. 1, but if all audition spots fill we reserve the right to close the application for a specific program earlier than Dec. 1 . However, the admissions committee will consider complete applications throughout the year except when a particular program is full. At that time further processing of applications in the program will be discontinued. Voice Prescreening Recording deadline is the Friday after Thanksgiving. Flute applicants must submit their prescreening recordings by Jan. 2.
