Updated auditions information, December 2024:

For Fall 2025 admissions, the Department of Music will only be auditioning and admitting new music majors in the following instrumental areas: Voice, (classical) Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello. Undergraduate applicants specializing in other instruments unfortunately cannot be considered for second-round auditions in Winter 2025, because we are unable to admit students on those instruments for fall 2025. We sincerely apologize for the late notice of this change. We are actively developing new pathways for students to major in Music at UC Irvine; for more details, please read the December 2024 Announcement on Undergraduate Music Degree Programs.
