All students must be recommended for admission to the Frost School of Music by the faculty committee and/or demonstrate that they are academically admissible candidates. Admission into the Frost School of Music as an undergraduate applicant is a joint decision by Frost and the Office of Undergraduate Admission. We employ a holistic review that considers both the music evaluation and your application and supporting documents. Historically, competitive applicants to the Frost School of Music have an A/B average in core academic subject areas (such as English, Math, Science, Social Sciences, and Foreign Language). You may view the First-Year Class Profile to see last year's overall admitted student profile. ACT/SAT scores are optional. Applicants must submit the UM Application, the Frost School of Music supplemental application, and all required documents for the Office of Undergraduate Admission by their respective deadlines. If an applicant fails to submit all required documentation, the application will be withdrawn from consideration for both the Frost School and the University of Miami. Please check your University of Miami Applicant Portal regularly to track your application and document status.
Early Action is for the most academically competitive students admitted to the freshman class. Applicants who wish to be considered for the University of Miami premier scholarships should apply Early Action and submit all required materials for both the university and the Frost School by the deadline. Early Action applicants will also be considered for Frost School of Music merit scholarships* as well as need-based aid if they apply. Early Action decisions are released in late January. Note: Historically, a large percentage of students who apply Early Action to the Frost School of Music are deferred to Regular Decision to be considered with the larger Frost School of Music applicant pool. Students who are deferred will be notified of their deferral in December and will receive a final admission decision in mid-to-late March. *Applicants to the BA will be considered for academic-based scholarships. BA MIND applicants will not be considered for Frost music merit-based awards. The Early Action deadline is November 1st

Credit may be granted for academic classes in which a student received a grade of C or better at an accredited institution, however, not all classes may count toward degree requirements. After a student has passed the audition and has been admitted to the University, the University Office of Admission evaluates the transcript and determines the University of Miami equivalents. After matriculation and prior to orientation, the Frost School of Music Office of Undergraduate Studies will evaluate which courses meet degree requirements. Every effort will be made to utilize as many courses as possible. However, transfer students should be aware that the University of Miami general studies program is unique and therefore some courses may be transferred to the university, but will not count toward a specific degree requirement. The Frost School of Music accepts music theory courses from accredited institutions, however, a music theory placement exam may be utilized to determine the appropriate level of theory and aural skills. The applied faculty will determine the level of study on the instrument or voice based on the jury exam at the end of the first semester. Transfer applicants should carefully consider their individual situation when evaluating the option to apply as a transfer. In some cases, residency requirements and credit hour restrictions may not make it beneficial to transfer and still complete a degree in a timely manner. It may be wiser to consider the Frost School for a graduate degree. Click below for the Undergraduate Admission Transfer Application Steps.
