Spirit & Performing Arts Audition Process

All students who are interested in participating in any of the Spirit & Performing Arts programs at Iona University are required to complete an audition or interview.

Test scores are not required for acceptance, and the $50 application fee can be waived. Ask your admissions counselor for more details.
