Admission and Participation
Acceptance to Hope College, like many liberal arts colleges, allows the entering student to begin work toward any major offered on campus. Therefore, no audition for acceptance as a music major or minor is required prior to matriculation.
Non-music majors are encouraged to participate in ensembles, applied lessons, and music classes. Many music courses fulfill the General Education requirements for the Fine Arts.
Whether you wish to pursue a degree in music or simply wish to
continue playing or learning about music,
the Hope College Music Department has a place for you. |
