Minor in Music

Available to non-Music majors only

Overview

The School of Music offers several minors for majors as well as non-majors who have a strong interest in music studies. Minors can only be declared once a student is enrolled full-time. Both Music majors who are interested in adding a specific Minor in Music and non-majors who wish to apply for the general Minor in Music should direct questions to Kate Ganczarz, Senior Academic Advisor.

This sequence is for candidates who are majors from any discipline in the university other than music who have some background in music and would like to know more about music.

Admission Requirements

Students must have declared a major in their home college and have at least a 2.75 overall QPA.
