## Admission Requirements

Undergraduate students may apply for admittance to the BM/MM program in the academic year in which they are scheduled to perform their 309 jury or junior recital (or, for composition majors, in their junior year) by submitting an [application](https://peabody.jhu.edu/academics/academic-calendar-resources/academic-affairs/five-year-programs/five-year-program-application/) and faculty recommendations to the Office of Academic Affairs by May 1 of that year.

Admittance to the BM/MM program is limited to outstanding performers with excellent academic records. The minimum requirements for applying are:

1. An average of A- and above in all major lessons and juries
2. A minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.67
3. A recommendation from the major teacher.

Admittance into the BM/MM program includes the proviso that a student’s fourth and fifth years of performance or composition study be with a single studio teacher unless there are circumstances that require special arrangements to be made by the Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies. Students who wish to complete a BM in performance or composition and then earn an MM in Musicology, Music Theory Pedagogy, or Performance/Pedagogy are also eligible to apply for this program but may be required to complete additional application requirements. Students in the BM/MM program are not permitted to pursue more than one MM degree. Students admitted to the BM/MM program have 2 semesters of Large Ensemble  waived from the MM requirements. Students typically begin taking MM coursework in their fourth year of study.
