The Peabody Institute of The Johns Hopkins University

This program is a Peabody dual degree program.  Applicants need apply only to Peabody.  The Recording Arts and Sciences program includes a performance degree, so the performance level necessary for entrance is the same as for a performance major.  More applicants are rejected because of low performance scores than for any other reason. In this program, math and science courses are taken at the Homewood Campus of The Johns Hopkins University. To be comfortable in that environment, we look for students with math SAT scores of at least 650. The acceptance rate is about fifty percent. Be advised that applicants for this program do not need to apply separately to any other division of The Johns Hopkins University. Voice majors typically need some summer study to complete the program in five years.  The situation for Jazz majors is similar, depending on the individual instrument.  In either case (voice or jazz) applicants should discuss the possibilities with the department chair before beginning.
