A live audition or interview is required for all Performing Arts majors. You can review your program’s specific requirements using the menu to the right.

You are responsible for scheduling your own audition/interview through Acceptd. In order to access the schedule, you must have submitted both your Emerson College Application and your Acceptd Artistic Application. You can review instructions for these steps on the program requirement pages.

Auditions and interviews are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis and space is limited. Slots begin filling up as early as August, and waiting until the last possible day to submit your application will severely limit, and possibly eliminate, your scheduling options. We strongly encourage you to submit your applications early.
