First Step: Apply to the University
In order to pursue a degree in music, you must be admitted to Cleveland State University. Information on University admissions requirements, financial aid, and other general information may be obtained from the Cleveland State Admissions Office. Freshmen applicants and junior transfer candidates with exceptional academic records should also consider applying for the Cleveland State University Honors Program Scholarship, the Presidential Scholarship, Dean's Scholarships or any of the University's other generous merit-based awards.
