How to Apply

Admission to the University of Kentucky

• A prospective student must be admitted to the University of Kentucky through UK's Office of Admissions. Please address questions about admission to the University of Kentucky to the UK Admissions office.

Admission to the UK School of Music

• A prospective student must also be admitted to the School of Music based on prior musical experience and an audition to determine the student's preparation for music study.

Apply early to UK
