BFA programs: Applying to the Dance, Design, Intermedia, Media Arts, Music, Production, Screenwriting, Theatre and Visual Art – Studio, programs for entry in September 2019 is a two-step process. Admission to these programs is based on both academic standing and artistic ability. York University assesses admissibility based on your academic record, while artistic ability is assessed through a Supplementary Evaluation by the department offering the program. For guaranteed consideration, please submit your application to York University by January 16, 2019 and complete your Supplementary Evaluation by January 30, 2019. (Later applications may be considered.)

Music Supplementary Evaluation The questionnaire and audition are intended to help us learn about your academic and artistic background, interests and goals as they relate to our Music program. A $60 CAD evaluation fee is required to submit your questionnaire. You will then be able to proceed with the audition. Your music audition will be a 20 minute session where you will play 2 contrasting pieces on your instrument. Students who are auditioning with voice will require an accompanist. Please see the sidebar for a list of recommendations if you do not have your own. You may be asked to sight-read and your ear training will be briefly evaluated. Be prepared to recognize and name basic intervals, scales, and triads played on the piano by the examiner and/or to sing pitches, intervals, or scales. You may also be asked to perform additional exercises if the adjudicator requires further information to make a complete assessment of your abilities and potential.
