The Juilliard School seeks students whose talent and commitment to excellence promise future achievement in their chosen areas of major study. The Committee on Admissions selects students primarily on the basis of their performance at competitive auditions held at The Juilliard School and in selected cities around the country. All auditions are evaluated by members of the faculty.

The School does not set a minimum or maximum age limit. In general, however, the faculty and the Committee on Admissions will give preference to students in the formative stages of their artistic development who will benefit most from the type of training available at Juilliard.

The Juilliard School admits students of any race, color, or national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at The Juilliard School. It does not discriminate on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, race, color, or national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.

Applications for the 2010-11 academic year must be submitted by the stated deadline for your chosen division. An in-person audition is required of all applicants, with the exception of pre-screened majors who are reviewed for an invitation to a live audition. The Juilliard School does not accept video auditions. Those applicants scheduled for auditions will receive notification approximately one month prior to the audition. Pre-screening results will also be sent at that time. No admissions decisions will be confirmed until all credentials and required documents are on file.

You may not apply more than two times to the Dance and Music Divisions or three times to the Drama Division if you receive unfavorable results.

Applicants who are admitted must begin their studies in the fall semester. New students may not enroll at midyear or defer enrollment. Admissions decisions are not related to financial aid applications or decisions.

Undergraduate Programs

Undergraduate Dance and Drama students are eligible for either the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree or the Diploma. Both programs require a full four-year course of study. The Diploma program does not include a Liberal Arts curriculum.

Undergraduate music students are eligible for either the Bachelor of Music degree, which is a full four-year course of study, or the Diploma, which requires at least three years. The Diploma program does not include a Liberal Arts curriculum.

Full-time Barnard or Columbia students have the opportunity to pursue private music lessons at Juilliard through the Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard Exchange Program while pursuing an academic degree. For a detailed explanation on this exchange, please see Other Programs.

Academic Requirements

The TOEFL will be required of all students for whom English is not the native language, regardless of citizenship or study at an English language institution. The minimum required TOEFL score is 200 (computer based) with a minimum essay rating of 3.0, or 73 (internet based) with a minimum writing score of 11, or 533 (paper based).

International Students, please refer to International Student Section.

Documentation of secondary schooling is an essential component of the application process. Applicants must supply official transcripts demonstrating scholastic competence sufficient to succeed in course work at the college level. The following guidelines are intended to clarify The Juilliard School's expectations for those who are applying for admission as first-time college students:

Graduation From High School

1. Drama and Music candidates must be high school graduates or possess the equivalent of a high school diploma. Home-schooled students please refer to the Home Schooling Documentation information.
2. Dance candidates must either be high school graduates, or have earned the equivalent of a high school diploma, or apply under the Early Admissions program. Early Admissions candidates apply during their junior year in high school and must be at least 16 years old upon matriculation. They must be highly talented, strongly endorsed by their principal teachers and school counselors, and show evidence of exceptional maturity.

Home Schooling Documentation:

The Juilliard School recognizes home schooling as a viable educational alternative; however, there are important and explicit regulations governing acceptable documentation. Home-schooled applicants are expected to complete the Home Schooling Information Form. This information should include the submission of a full outline of the curriculum by subject, including textbooks for each course; assessment procedures and grades; and evidence of official recognition by the school district and/or state department of education. Juilliard reserves the right to rescind admission to any applicant whose file documentation is deemed insufficient and/or incomplete.

General Equivalency Diploma (G.E.D.):

High school equivalency diplomas are issued by states to eligible applicants who pass the qualifying examinations. Specific age eligibility and required proof thereof are required. The Juilliard School adheres to the regulations governing eligibility established by the New York State Education Department and will accept G.E.D.s from qualified applicants.

Please note: While there are valid reasons for certain applicants to obtain the G.E.D., Juilliard does not recommend it as a substitute or shortcut for a traditional secondary education. In addition, the School reserves the right to rescind admission to any applicant who does not meet the appropriate state education department regulations as written.

Music and Dance applicants please note: Applicants who have attended a secondary school, conservatory, college, or university prior to filing this application, should send the official transcripts of school records with the admission application forms. Official transcripts must be in a sealed envelope, or be sent directly from the issuing institution. In order for an application to be complete, a partial transcript must be on file no later than February 15. This applies to U.S. and international applicants. Drama acting applicants, please note: If you are called back at the auditions, you will receive a request for a transcript at that time; otherwise, it is not required.

Applicants who are offered admission must submit an official final transcript indicating their graduation date no later than July 1. This applies to both U.S. and international admits. Juilliard reserves the right to rescind admission to any applicant whose file documentation is deemed insufficient and/or incomplete.

It is the applicant's obligation to see that the completed records are filed. Report cards, grade reports, and other student records are not acceptable as final records.

For students who are graduates of foreign institutions, those studies must be equivalent to a U.S. high school. Equivalency information and translations may be obtained through the World Education Service, (212) 966-6311. Applicants must submit official school transcripts accompanied by notarized English translations before February 15.

All applicants are required to submit an essay as a component of the Application for Admission. The Juilliard School has specific topics for the essay, which assists the Committee on Admissions in gaining a greater insight into the applicant as an individual and as an artist.

Letters of Recommendation

All undergraduate applicants to the Dance, Drama, and Music Divisions must submit a recommendation letter from a high school academic teacher, preferably in English, history, or other language arts course work. Juilliard continues to renew its efforts to identify and educate leaders in the profession, students who can be not only outstanding performers, but also effective advocates, collaborators, teachers, and community partners. The impetus behind this requirement is to gain insight into the applicant's abilities in English and should acknowledge the applicant's speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension abilities. If needed, a college professor would suffice for transfer students. Transfer and college graduate applicants to the Drama Division should submit a recommendation from a major teacher who can discuss his/her work as an actor. Home-schooled applicants should submit a recommendation from someone other than a parent who can address the issues listed above. In addition to a letter from an academic teacher, applicants to the Dance Division must also submit a letter of recommendation from a dance teacher. See Recommendations Form for further details. Undergraduate and graduate music applicants (with the exception of Composition and Historical Performance majors) are not required to submit a recommendation from a musician or music teacher.

Standardized Tests

Juilliard does not require the S.A.T. I, S.A.T II, or A.C.T. tests. However, applicants who are taking the tests are welcome to send results to the Admissions Office. The Juilliard School’s CEEB code is 2340.

Transfer Students

Transfer status is available only to those accepted into undergraduate programs. The minimum required residency for transfer students is two years, or three years for majors in Voice. Transfer applicants who enroll in the Dance and Drama Divisions should be aware that the training is a mandatory four-year program.

Advanced standing for Music students is based entirely on faculty evaluations of the student’s capabilities and by the placement exams that are administered after acceptance.

Credits in liberal arts courses taken at accredited conservatories, colleges, or universities may be transferred after the registrar has assessed the official transcripts from those institutions. Credits in these subjects will be evaluated in the light of the liberal arts requirements in the Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree programs at Juilliard. Credit will not be allowed for courses in which the applicant has received a grade lower than C or its equivalent. Transfer students are required to take a minimum of 12 liberal arts credits in residence at Juilliard.

Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard Exchange (B-C-J)

Participants in the Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard Exchange must pay, in addition to Barnard or Columbia tuition, $5,060/year for the cost of lessons at Juilliard. Need-based financial aid is awarded to Barnard and Columbia students; please refer to each college’s financial aid policies for specific information. The additional tuition expenses for Exchange participants will be factored into the awarding of each applicant's need-based financial aid eligibility.

Applicants to this program must submit a Juilliard Application for Admission, including pre-screening materials if required, by the published deadline. Admission to the Exchange is highly selective, with only 8–10 students from all classical and jazz music majors admitted each year. The application fee for Exchange applicants is $35.

Applicants to both the Exchange AND Bachelor of Music at Juilliard: Barnard and Columbia applicants may choose to be considered also as performance majors at Juilliard. On the application, please select both the Bachelor of Music as well as Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard Exchange (on the print application, check both boxes; on the online application, select “Barnard-Columbia-Juilliard Exchange AND Bachelor of Music”). It is possible, because of the selectivity described above, that applicants to both Juilliard and the Exchange may be admitted to only Juilliard’s Bachelor of Music program and not be admitted to the Exchange, regardless of admission status at Barnard or Columbia.

First-time college students who are applying Early Decision to Barnard or Columbia must withdraw their Bachelor of Music application if admitted Early Decision, but may continue with their application to the Exchange. The application fee for applicants to both The Juilliard School and the Exchange is $100.

Students who have been admitted to and participate in the Exchange while attending Barnard or Columbia do not receive a double (or dual) undergraduate degree. However, they do have the opportunity of auditioning for the Juilliard Master of Music degree program during their junior year at Barnard or Columbia. Exchange students must apply for the Master of Music by the December 1 deadline, and pay the $100 application fee. The pre-screening (if applicable) is waived. The applicant should complete most liberal arts requirements at Barnard or Columbia within three years, while taking major lessons at Juilliard. In the spring of the junior year, the applicant will audition at Juilliard for entrance to the Master of Music program. If admitted, the student will normally spend two subsequent years (three for Voice majors) primarily at Juilliard, while finishing any remaining undergraduate requirements at Barnard or Columbia. Successful completion of all requirements for both institutions will lead to a Bachelor’s from Barnard or Columbia and a Master of Music from Juilliard. If Barnard/Columbia students wish to pursue this option, they should seek counseling at both Juilliard and their home institution on how to make this option work for them.

The B-C-J exchange program also allows Juilliard students in good academic standing the opportunity to enroll in one course per semester at Barnard or Columbia (excluding students in drama). Undergraduate students may be eligible to enroll in liberal arts electives at Barnard or Columbia to satisfy the third- and fourth-year requirement. Graduate students may be eligible to enroll in a course for enrichment purposes, however, the courses do not satisfy graduate requirements. Applications are available in the Office of the Registrar and must be filed each semester. New students must complete at least one semester at Juilliard to be eligible to apply.

Please note: Applicants interested in both the B-C-J and the B.M. programs at Juilliard must indicate the appropriate boxes on the application.
