Undergraduate Audition Opportunities at Berklee Summer Programs

Students enrolled in Aspire: Five-Week Music Performance Intensive, a Boston Conservatory at Berklee summer program, or the Spain Summer Performance Program have the opportunity to participate in a live audition and interview for undergraduate admission and scholarship consideration for the undergraduate program at Berklee College of Music, depending on their anticipated high school graduation year.

If the summer program you are enrolled in does not offer a live audition and interview opportunity—or you are otherwise unable to complete one during your program—you may still apply to Berklee College of Music or Boston Conservatory at Berklee following the standard admissions process.
