Minor in Music

The minor in music gives students the opportunity to pursue musical interests while developing skills and exploring the history and context of music. Students will develop a fundamental understanding of music through introductory music theory, musicianship and music history. Through individual instruction or group performance, students will have opportunities to perform, to develop skills on their preferred instrument(s), and/or to learn new instruments and styles. Students can choose from a variety of electives, tailoring their course of instruction to their own needs and interests. This flexible minor allows students to complement their major field of study and prepares them for post-graduation pathways that integrate music into their personal and professional life.
