The music degree programs at UCSC integrate studies in performance, theory, composition, history and literature. The undergraduate students benefit from small classes, abundant attention from nationally and internationally recognized teachers, and a new Music Center with extensive and state-of-the-art facilities for practice, performance, and recording. The UCSC Music Faculty are especially devoted to the integration of scholarship with performance. A wide variety of support is offered to students in the Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Arts in Music programs, as well as to music minors and other non-majors who wish to continue in the cultivation of their musicianship during their time at UC Santa Cruz.
The UCSC Music Department awards scholarships to continuing music students on the basis of talent. Competitions are held each May. To compete, a student must be nominated by her/his teacher. For first-year students, and transfer and reentering students, auditions will be held at the end of fall quarter at the time of juries to accommodate those who were not enrolled the previous spring.
