Music college:

While there are no hard and fast rules regarding admission qualifications, applicants typically have a minimum two years of music study on their primary instrument and/or significant practical experience in musical performance, a diploma from an accredited secondary school with satisfactory marks in college-preparatory courses. [2] The current listed acceptance rate on The College Board is now 34%. [3] In 2003, Berkleemusic, the online branch of Berklee College of Music, was founded.[4]
Berklee has a large percentage of undergraduate students from outside the U.S.—23 percent—representing more than 70 countries. [5] Women comprise 26.9 percent of the student body. Domestic minority enrollment is African-American, 6.8 percent; Latino, 6.5 percent; Asian-American, 3.3 percent. The five countries that supply the largest percentage of foreign students to Berklee are Japan, Korea, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. The school's current president, Roger H. Brown, was installed in 2004.
Berklee offers three full time semesters per year: Fall, Spring, and Summer. The Fall and Spring semesters are 16 weeks in length, whereas the Summer semester is compacted into 12 weeks.
