Due to course curriculum requirements and transfer considerations The Hartt School would best serve UArts Music Students with a Classical or Jazz focus in their third and fourth years in the following programs (More information on all of these programs can be found on The Hartt School site):

• BMus in Instrumental Performance: This is for students with a classical focus who are looking to continue their artistic explorations in the classical idiom. Students will participate in large ensembles as well as have the option to participate in our chamber music program.
• BMus in Jazz Studies: The Hartt School has a small ensemble focus in their Jazz program as well as a solid base of Jazz History Academics to support a student’s artistic exploration.
• BA in Music: This is a good option for UArts student who would like to focus on a liberal arts education while maintaining their focus in Music. It does not require lessons or ensemble, but students may participate in them. It could also be a good home for UArts students who are interested in Commercial Music as we do not have BMUS in Commercial Music Performance, but students can hold a Commercial Music concentration.
• Performing Arts Management: This would be a good fit for a UArts student in the Music Business, Entrepreneurs and Technology program who are more focused on the business aspects of their major. Please note this is not a direct transfer program but we will work with students to ensure a positive fit.
• MM in Jazz Studies (Reviewing entering and current UArts students): This would most likely be a 3-credit transfer.

Due to core differences in our course requirements, we cannot accept transfer applications for the programs listed below. We can review first-year applications or those who are willing to restart their undergraduate degree (some liberal arts credits may transfer) on a rolling basis in these programs.

• BMus in Vocal Performance (Classical/Opera Focus)
• BMus in Music Composition (Requires Instrumental/Voice Study)
• BMus in Music Education (Instrumental and Vocal)
• BMus in Music History (Requires Instrumental/Voice Study)
• BMus in Music Theory (Requires Instrumental/Voice Study)
• BMus in Music Production and Technology (Requires Instrumental/Voice Study)

Additional Offerings to Consider:

• Music Education Minor
• Performing Arts Management Minor
• Composition Minor
  
  
  

As a small theatre program, we have limited flexibility in our class size and after thoughtful review of our current enrollment we can offer transfer reviews from UArts students in the following areas:

• Actor Training: We are accepting transfer review requests from fourth year UArts students. Regretfully, our other years are at capacity.
• Technical Theatre: Students in the BFA in Theater Design and Technology can find a home in our BFA in Technical Theatre program. Although less focused on design, our program teaches you the skills to professionally step backstage after graduation with extensive opportunities for hands on learning throughout your program.

We will review transfer applications for our BFA in Dance program from UArts Students on a rolling basis with preference in reviewing third and fourth year students. Please take time to review our program and course curriculum as the tenants of our program differ from the UArts curriculum and philosophy. Ballet is at the center of our training program with ballet technique and pointe classes (as appropriate) for all students daily. For the audition, please review our recorded audition requirements. We can be flexible but must see a demonstration of ballet and modern technique. Students who pass an initial review will be asked to interview with our faculty.
