Registration and Application Instructions
Berklee Summer Programs are either registration-based or application-based.
Registration: To reserve your spot in a registration-based program, simply submit the registration form using the instructions below and pay the combined registration fee and tuition cost (note: the registration fee and tuition charge are paid separately for Aspire: Five-Week registrants). Decisions are not issued for these programs and the confirmation email you receive after you submit your registration serves to confirm your enrollment.
Application: To apply for Musical Theater Acting Intensive (MTAI) or Vocal/Choral Intensive (VCI), you must prepare additional application materials that will be reviewed with your submission. To participate in these programs, you must first be offered a spot in the program, then you must confirm your participation by accepting the offer and paying the tuition cost in full. Please review the “Decision Issuance” section of the Application Instructions tab below for more information on how to know if you've been accepted to an application-based program.
To register or apply for a Summer Program, you must first create an account at apply.berklee.edu using an email address you check often.
A unique account is required for each individual applicant, so you if are assisting more than one person with their registration (ex: siblings) you must do so with separate accounts.
If you previously set up an account to register for any past program, you must continue to use your existing account. Please do not create multiple accounts for the same student.
