Arts - Music

To be eligible for applying to any music program at the University of Windsor, you must have taken university level grade twelve English and a music course from high school is strongly recommended, though not mandatory. Certain programs may require you to perform an audition to be accepted but not all of them require one. The majority of programs demand that you have achieved a 70% to 75% average in order to be considered. This is the same for many of the universities. Music programs offered at the college level usually only require that you have a grade twelve English credit.
