I propose moving the list of prominent alumni to its own page. This list could get out of hand pretty quickly. I think it's already long enough to warrant its own article. Please vote either support or oppose and state your reasons. I'll give this two days. -- malber 00:41, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Someone, please, add an introduction... -- 84.249.252.211 21:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
There have been several insertions by anonymous editors that Berklee now requires an entrance audition. The most I've been able to find is that prospective students are required to demonstrate basic music skills such as the ability to read music. This was not required when I attended, so this is an obvious change, but I haven't been able to find any sources to cite that an audition is required. If someone can find a citation, please include it. -- Malber ( talk • contribs) 12:08, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
That's true, I added the source. Also, the actual acceptance rate for this semester was ~34% according to Roger Brown himself at this year's freshman orientation, but I can't find any transcriptions of that speech or websites that are up to date in that regard.
-- Zetsuie 13:32, 29 September 2006 (UTC) i was wondering about the acceptance for audio engineering major like what is required to apply for that im currently a senior in high school and i have chosen this career path and i was hoping to find out more information about berklee's acceptance standards from an indepndant source
I think the main picture should be of the 150 or 130 mass ave buildings, not the 1140 building. the 1140 building is a generic looking building with a lame little flag; the 150 building has the massive flags and the distinctive overhang, and the 130 building has unique architecture. Thoughts? 192.136.22.4 23:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Why in the world would we change from the standardized University info box to a non-standardized table? -- ElKevbo 17:14, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
I see that you've returned 3 months later to revert the table format again. I wish you would find a more constructive way to spend your time; myriad articles need copyediting and sourcing, for example, and there are many more yet to be created. In the meantime, please try to remember that we try to avoid reverting non-controversial edits unless they violate specific policy. Thanks. Cribcage 20:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Ghosts&empties, the paragraph in this article about the Berklee Ice Cats does constitute a paragraph. As I was attending the college at the time, I will tell you that it was a very exciting and important time for the college. This is the first sports team that Berklee has had in it's over 60 year history. Also, the fact that the team did relatively well for it's first season ever definitely is noteworthy. I will be open to any opposition you have, just post a reply on this talk page. Thank you. --PM - PhilyG talk 14:16, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone know how much it costs to attend the college? Patches9713 ( talk) 00:40, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, why keep this out? Revan ltrl ( talk) 17:53, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
This article says the following: "The original mission of Berklee was to prepare students... providing formal training in jazz, rock, and other contemporary music not available at other music schools."
Rock was not in the original curriculum. When Berklee began, rock was in its infancy, jazz was considered to be popular music (despite the new bebop scene), and other popular music of the day utilized jazz vocabulary and jazz musicians. When I attended Berklee (late 70s - early 80s) there were two or three classes and a few ensembles that related to rock. At that time, more and more of the new students coming in were interested in rock and it grew from there. One of the early classes I remember was "The Music of John Lennon" which began in 1980. gnar 12.72.192.228 ( talk) 12:36, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Agreed, changed. Glassbreaker5791 ( talk) 01:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
In the introduction, Berklee is described as an "independent music college". Wouldn't this be better described as being a " conservatory"? The Boston article lists it as such in the education section. If there are no objections, I'll go ahead and change it, I just didn't know if there was some reason that the use of the term was being avoided. Glassbreaker5791 ( talk) 01:30, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
The phrase "fully accredited" sounds like bragging to me. How is it better than simply "accredited"? Is there really such a thing as full versus partial accreditation in this case? Rahul ( talk) 02:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I remember in the 1970s when Berklee would accept pretty much anyone who applied, though the graduation requirements were fairly high and very few of the students actually graduated. That approach was dropped at some point, probably because of an increasing number of applicants, but I don't have documentation on this. Bostoner ( talk) 03:35, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Is the name of the college pronounced the same as Berkeley, California? If not, could someone please add an IPA transcription? thanks! BigSteve ( talk) 11:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
I was attending Berklee between '72 and '75. In that period, my friend and his friend made the Real Book! It took them 6 months to complete it, and the day after it came out, somebody copied it and was selling it for $5 less! Amazing start of history, eh?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The article about the degree relies almost entirely on primary sources. Lacking a subject-specific notability guideline that I know of, the article must pass WP:GNG — which it does not. — TechnoSquirrel69 ( sigh) 16:54, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
