Minor in Music

About

The minor in music is a great opportunity to practice and expand your skills. In the program, you’ll study music theory and practice your singing and aural skills. You’ll also practice the piano and choose from a variety of performance-based electives.

Notes:

  • Music Minors must audition on their applied instrument with the appropriate faculty and be accepted into a studio;
  • Music Minors must declare their minor with the music office, and meet with the Chair for approval and to arrange advising with the appropriate faculty. (This will allow the intended minor to show in Banner, and will assist with graduation advising.)
  • Student files will be maintained in the music office as they are for the music majors;
  • MUSC 212 also counts as a BACR.

Grade Requirement for all courses offered by the Music Department: ≥C is the minimum acceptable grade for any music course required for graduation (including transferred music courses).
