Transfer applicants follow the same deadlines and procedures as freshmen outlined for Regular Decision applicants above.
- The application priority deadline is December 1st.
- Transfers are not eligible for Early Action.
- Transfer applicants must have a 3.0 GPA or higher for consideration.
- If transfer applicants do not have 30 credit hours we will wait for spring grades to make a decision.
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.
