Scholarships Auditions

Scholarship Auditions for Incoming Freshman and Transfer students are typically held the first weekend in December for students beginning the following academic Year.

Bachelor of Fine Arts Auditions

BFA auditions are held twice a year. Once in conjunction with scholarship auditions and then again at the end of the Spring Semester (typically the end of April or beginning of May). Incoming students may audition for admission to the BFA program once prior to beginning course work at NKU. If a student is not accepted as an incoming freshman they can audition two additional times after completing one semester at NKU. It is suggested that current NKU Theatre & Dance students discuss their readiness with their academic advisor prior to subsequent attempts. Many of the current BFA students are completing course work at NKU.
