Welcome to the Department of Music!
UNCW music students study with a dedicated faculty of internationally recognized artists and teachers, while enjoying small class sizes and extensive performance opportunities. Individual attention is the hallmark of the Department of Music at UNCW, as students and faculty work closely together to cultivate the fundamental concepts for lifelong learning, as well as developing the highest level of musicianship, creativity and scholarship related to teaching, performance, research, music technology and industry, and appreciation of music. In addition, the department is committed to enriching the quality of life within and beyond southeastern North Carolina by serving as a cultural and educational resource within the rich arts community in the region.
Acceptance Rate:
The University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) has a general acceptance rate of around 68-74%, but admission to the Department of Music requires a successful audition in the applicant's principal performance medium, and acceptance to the department does not guarantee overall admission to UNCW.
