Electronic Math Advising Tool (eMAT) Requirement

It is recommended that students take the Electronic Math Advising Tool (eMAT) before attending New Patriot Orientation. Completion of the eMAT is required before a student will be allowed to register for any math class at DBU. The eMAT is a tool that is used to place students in the appropriate math course during advising, and it is offered online for your convenience at https://www.dbu.edu/emat.

Mandatory Requirement: All students majoring in Music or Music Business are required to complete an audition.

This audition allows the student to be considered for Music Department admission, scholarship and placements (for Keyboard, Theory and Ensemble courses).
