The Jazz Studies Program in the Department of Music at UW-Stevens Point offers one of the most extensive and comprehensive jazz education experiences in the Midwest. UW-Stevens Point is one of the few universities in the Midwest offering a full bachelors degree in Jazz Studies. Much emphasis is placed on individual attention. All students must successfully pass a performance audition to be admitted to a music degree program at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
Students also take a music theory placement examination to determine eligibility.
Several scholarships available in Jazz Studies are awarded through audition.
