  U.S. School of Commercial Music: Application Instructions
 

Application Instructions

    

Admissions Policy

We use a "rolling admissions" process; applications are dealt with promptly, at all times of the year, rather than in large numbers two or three times a year.

The charter of U.S. School of Commercial Music establishes as a fundamental policy of the institution to "provide its services to all qualified persons and to employ faculty and staff without discrimination on the basis of race, creed or religion, sex, or national origin." USSCM reserves the right to alter its programs, policy, tuition and all administrative, academic and other functions relating to its operation without notice.


 
  

Background Required for Admissions

U.S. School of Commercial Music admits all qualified applicants, the main qualification being a sincere desire to learn more about music. We prefer that you have as much musical experience as possible, but if you are at least a disciplined beginner who is willing to work hard, you will do well because USSCM methods are rapid and efficient. It is not required that you have a high school diploma, but people without one should have at least a moderate amount of job or military experience. If you have any questions about whether you should apply, or whether or not you are likely to be admitted if you do apply, you are welcome to telephone and discuss your situation.
