<p>Hello~
Does anyone have any info on UC Irvine's music BA/BM Program, specifically for voice?
I've used the search function and most of the information posted about UCs were on UCLA. Google search also wasn't much help :/
Also, this might be a dumb question but does anyone know how competitive UCI's transfer auditions/auditions in general are? </p>
<p>Thank you : D.</p>
<p>There are links in the post here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062001891-post3.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/1062001891-post3.html</a> that contain most of UC Irvine info within this forum. These are representative, not all inclusive.</p>
<p>wooyoung, I won’t be much help to you. But I can say that you might be better off to just pick one of the voice faculty off their website and email them with questions. There are also phone numbers listed on the website. Not all of the UC’s are getting hit the same in this economy. Last year UCI was not accepting new students on quite a few instruments, for example.
I would not be surprised if their voice program was fairly competitive though, because their theater department is very strong. Maybe you can find some recordings on Youtube from there. Good luck!</p>
<p>I was going to pick the vocal performance major, but unfortunately at UC Irvine that major is reserved for classical singers only</p>
<p>I am a student in the ICIT (Integrated Composition, Technology, and Improvisation) MFA program at UCI: [|</a> ICIT](<a href=“http://music.arts.uci.edu/icit]|”>ICIT | Integrated Composition Improvisation and Technology – A Doctoral Degree in Music at the University of California, Irvine)</p>
<p>Obviously, this is not specific to your question about undergraduate voice, but the professors here in this program are excellent, and the facilities at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts are nice as well. It’s a new program, but so far all of the accepted students have been awarded teaching assistantships that pay a full scholarship to cover the tuition as well as an additional living stipend.</p>
<p>The undergraduate vocal program is relatively very small, and as a result in some years can be incredibly competitive for admission. Claire Trevor School has students in music, theater, drama, dance, and studio art so there it is very active artistic environment. Additionally, the humanities school at UCI has one of the country’s best regarded creative writing programs - the MFA program has produced a number of Pulitzer winners and often draws over 500 applicants for a dozen openings.</p>
<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Do you know anything about the BA in musc(piano) degree? Is it good?</p>
<p>Hey, Lou, why not send a pm to postgradcomp to get more information. My fear for you is that when you tack on a question to someone else’s thread about a school you minimize your chance of getting a full answer because the poster might not check back. It’s also perceived as thread-jacking, for which some posters have previosly admonished you. So maybe a direct message to the poster who has the info might be more productive for you.
Cheers!</p>
<p>I have heard excellent things about Nina Scolnick as a teacher on the Irvine faculty.</p>
