Who is Required to Complete an Audition or Portfolio?
Students who are admitted to the following majors are required to complete this additional step to complete their admission into the major:
Audition
- Music
- Music Education
- Music Performance
- Musical Theatre
Portfolio
- Art Studio
- Art Education
- Graphic Design
Please note: admittance to the above-mentioned majors is provisional until a successful audition or portfolio review session has been completed.
At this time, theatre majors may start the program at IUP without completing the audition/portfolio review, but may opt to do so in order to compete for the Freshman Talent Scholarships offered by the department. The Musical Theatre Track involves more specialized skills for success, so an audition is required.

Auditions/portfolio reviews can be completed anytime.
However, if you are already planning to visit campus through the Admissions Office, we encourage you to bundle your audition/portfolio review with your visit to make the most out of your trip.
