A fresh perspective does wonders for your life and your music—and travel can be the best way to see things differently. That's why we offer ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ students the opportunity to study at select institutions around the world. ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ partners with schools to set up direct reciprocal exchanges, which are student-for-student exchanges involving two teachers of the same instrument.

How to Study Abroad

If you're a ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ student interested in spending a semester at one of our partner schools, you'll start by discussing the possibility with your principal teacher. Your teacher will be able to recommend international colleagues who would be a good fit for you. You'll need to go through the normal admission process at the institution where you want to study, and you might also need to prepare by studying a new language or taking other prerequisite classes.

How to Study at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

If you're an international student interested in studying at ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½, we have several options for you. Undergraduates may enroll in our Artist Certificate Program; graduate students enter the Professional Studies Program. Consult your current school's international-exchange personnel for details. You must apply to ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ by March 15 for the following academic year. A DVD audition is required. For more information, please contact the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ Admissions Office at admission@cim.edu.
