Application Information

Steps to take for admission to graduate degree programs are listed on the degree brochures, available on this website under the degree names (Master of Music, Master of Music Education, Doctor of Musical Arts, Doctor of Philosophy).

Steps to take for admission to undergraduate degrees are available on the School of Music Website under Prospective Undergraduate Students.

Applicants must apply separately for admission to the School of Music and for admission to the University and should pursue both applications at the same time.

The online forms listed here will be helpful in the application process. Prospective graduate students and undergraduate students may apply for admission online at http://www.ou.edu/admissions/home.html. Prospective graduate students also need to submit a School of Music Graduate Application Form to the music school, in addition to other requested materials (see the specific degree program for this information). The Application for Graduate Assistantships is part of the Graduate Application Form, so one fully-completed form serves both purposes. Information on Graduate Assistantships in the School of Music can be found here.

Auditions are required for admission to all music major programs in piano and, in the case of graduate students, audition dates for January and February should be reserved with Dr. Jane Magrath early in January, or before. Auditions for undergraduate students should be scheduled with Dr. Edward Gates. Auditions must be completed by March 1. We ask that you consult the list of piano auditions dates and request an audition for one of those dates. All application materials for graduate admissions should be received by the School of Music and the Graduate College by January 1.

Driving directions to campus can be found here.

Information on tuition and fees at the University of Oklahoma can be found on the website of the Bursar’s Office at OU.
