Selection Process:

The Belmont East/West programs are high-profile highly competitive programs that require an interview process during which applicants will be evaluated on attributes such as attitude, maturity, professionalism, and the potential to be a “team player.”

A selection committee within the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business will interview all applicants. Information on file in an applicant’s student record will also be considered, including but not limited to, involvement in the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business clubs/organizations, comments of support or concern by faculty and staff, and disciplinary offenses.

Each selection committee member will assess and state in narrative whether or not s/he recommends support or opposition to an applicant's acceptance into the program. Based on those reports, an applicant may or may not be admitted into the program. Because of the nature of these programs (i.e. remote location, representation of the institution in a high-profile setting, the need for participants to be mature and self-motivated, etc.), acceptance into the program is not guaranteed and is based to a large extent on the interviewers' support or opposition. The selection committee will provide written recommendations for participation or denial to the Dean of the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business.

The Dean of the Mike Curb College of Entertainment and Music Business reserves the right to make the final determination of acceptance into the Belmont East/West external programs.
