Entry requirements for 匹茲堡大學

Statement of purpose, an essay of about two pages that describes the applicant's academic background and professional goals.
Undergraduate and graduate transcripts from all higher education institutions attended. These should be scanned and included with online application. Students will be required to forward official transcripts/translations at the time of matriculation (upon enrollment) to the Graduate School to clear transcript contingencies.
CV or Resumé.
Three letters of recommendation, preferably by persons who have taught the applicant in subjects related to the four research subdisciplines, rather than in performance lessons.
Applicants in jazz studies are asked to submit evidence of their work in each of two categories: (1) Writing/Scholarship, preferably a research paper on a jazz-related topic, and, (2) Musicianship, which may include performance recordings and/or compositions. Recordings should be uploaded to a website, such as SoundCloud, Bandcamp, YouTube, Vimeo or a personal website. Please include a document with the website addresses as live links and make sure that no password is required to access. If you are not able to do this, you may mail a CD. The paper, scores and website addresses of recordings should be combined into a single pdf to be uploaded. File sizes are limited so applicants should use Adobe Acrobat Pro or another file compression program to condense the file.
A minimum TOEFL score of 90 (with at least a score of 22 in all of the four sections of speaking, listening, reading and writing) is required. The required minimum IELTS score is 7.0 (with at least 6.5 in each of its four sections).
