Nationally ranked and internationally renowned, the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) is a preeminent institution for the performing and media arts. The school’s educational roots date back to 1867, and a solid, visionary instruction has been at its core since that time.

The synergy created by housing CCM within a comprehensive public university gives the college its unique character and defines its objective: to educate and inspire the whole artist and scholar for positions on the world’s stage.

CCM provides life-changing experiences within a highly creative and multidisciplinary artistic environment. The college offers 10 degree types (BA, BFA, BM, MA, MFA, MM, MME, AD, DMA, PhD) in more than 100 possible majors, along with a graduate certificate in Music Pedagogy and minors in both Music and Media Production.

Audition Requirements

All CCM programs require the submission of pre-screening materials in order to be considered for admission. Faculty will review application and pre-screening materials to make admission decisions and audition/interview requests.

While pre-screening materials are required for all applicants, not all applicants will be invited to audition or interview. In some cases, successful applicants will receive a final admission decision based solely off their pre-screening and application review, while other applicants may be asked to complete an additional audition and/or interview. Applicants invited to audition and/or interview with faculty will be notified by the CCM Admissions Office staff in January.

Auditions and interviews will be held in February.

Professional development and entrepreneurial acumen are an important part of the CCM experience. Faculty mentorship along with the Managing Professional Performance Careers course provide a foundation for transitioning to life after graduation. Select programs also normally host Senior Showcases in New York and LA.

CCM's Office of the Dean also offers $30,000 in student travel funding annually, which is intended to support travels to auditions, conferences and other career advancement opportunities.
