General questions about the school and admission:
How can I get more information about Sound Master's tuition?
If you contact the Sound Master admissions department at (626) 284-0050 or fill out an information request form, an admissions representative will be happy to send you a catalog that outlines tuition costs.
There are several factors that make it difficult to directly compare tuition prices - a Sound Master education normally only takes nine months - a fraction of the time that a traditional college takes - our curriculum doesn't follow a traditional semester or quarter schedule, and many of your supplies are included in the tuition costs. Because of this, an admissions representative is the best equipped to show you how to factor all these considerations when researching your education. [Top]

We recognize that some applicants, although capable, may not have prepared for the evaluation. If you do not meet the evaluation criteria, you will be allowed to re-take the evaluation after a one week waiting period.
