Music minor

Music minors choose from a wide array of interesting music electives and are eligible to join any of our many ensembles. Participation in collaborative music courses provides students a sense of belonging in a community of smart, kind and driven musicians, while also gaining elective course credits towards graduation.

The music minor requires 18 credit hours of music courses, including the following:

• MUSC 1004: Intro to Music in History 1 (3 credit hours)
• MUSC 1014: Intro to Music in History 2 (3 credit hours)
• MUSC 1110: Music Theory 1 (3 credit hours)

The remaining 9 credit hours can be fulfilled using music courses for which the student has the appropriate prerequisites or permission, with exceptions.

Ensembles

Students pursuing a Music minor can use up to 6 credit hours of ensemble courses to fulfill the credit hour requirements. Ensemble participation requires an audition, which takes place the beginning of Fall Term each year. Ensembles are worth 2 credit hours per year per ensemble.
