Transfer Student Information

Students interested in transferring to the University of Minnesota School of Music should consider doing so in fall semester of the academic year, as the School of Music does not offer scholarships to students entering in spring semesters.

The number of credits that may transfer is dependent mostly on placement exams.  Placement exams in music theory, ear-training and keyboard are required if you have any college-level credits in those areas. Students admitted for the fall usually take these exams during the School of Music Welcome Week, immediately before the beginning of classes in September. For students admitted for spring, theory and ear-training exams are offered at the beginning of the spring term and keyboard competencies can be scheduled on an individual basis. Study materials for these exams are available on our website.

Transfer credits for applied lessons will be determined through a transfer-credit evaluation jury.  The jury will take place at the end of the first semester of applied study.

Most music history courses and ensemble courses will transfer directly; however, students may need to submit a syllabus or course description for review.
