The Music Minor is designed for any undergraduate student not otherwise pursuing a degree in the School of Music. It is designed to be flexible such that it can serve a variety of interests, that is, one can focus on traditional, jazz, or world music studies. However, entry into some of the coursework requires prior knowledge and experience in music, so the student desiring a music minor must contact the School of Music Office for advice and placement.
