Each year the College division enrolls approximately 220 students, ages 18 through 29, who have completed a year as a full-time college student. In addition to current undergraduates, many students in the program have graduated or are presently enrolled for graduate study.

Four programs of study are available:

• Piano
• Orchestral Studies
• Composition
• Opera

Students in the orchestral studies, piano, and composition programs receive weekly private lessons from Brevard's artist faculty and may participate in studio or master classes. Opera students receive private coachings in lieu of lessons.

Instrumentalists may elect to play chamber music with formal coaching by faculty members.

Students have the opportunity to perform solo and chamber music in Brevard's weekly student recitals.

There are formal, required classes for students in Piano, Composition, and Opera, and sectional rehearsals for students in Orchestral Studies.

Campus life policies for college students are liberal, analogous to those found on many college campuses.

The deadline for application was March 1, 2012, but we shall continue to accept applications until spaces are filled. Before starting a new application please contact the Admissions Department (828-862-2140) to ensure that there are spaces available in your area.

The deadline for opera was January 31, 2012.
