A performance-based minor in Music enables a student to broaden career opportunities in disciplines outside of music, or to continue pursuing music studies within the structure of a minor program. The minor in Music requires a successful audition prior to entrance, and includes eight semesters of ensemble participation.
Effective Fall 2007
A successful audition is required for acceptance into this program.
Students must satisfactorily complete the total credits required for the minor. Minors and interdisciplinary minors require 12 or more upper-division (300- to 400-level) credits.
Additional coursework may be required due to prerequisites.
