The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) degree is designed for exceptionally-talented musicians who wish to pursue a career in performance. B.M. students will focus in a primary instrument or in voice. Acceptance to the B.M. program is by audition only. Although auditions for official admission to the B.M. program are open only to registered UCSC students, prospective students may submit a tape to the Music Department to receive an informal evaluation of their chances for acceptance. Students must audition prior to their senior year, sophomores and juniors must be advanced when they first audition for the program. A spring audition will be available only to junior transfer students.
