Music Minor

Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Coordinator: Peter Ryan

The Minor in Music is designed to provide students with the opportunity to pursue music as a performing art and as an adjunct to the major academic field. The minor is available all students regardless of prior musical experience, though some prior training via private lessons or ensemble work is encouraged. Courses with a final grade less than C- will not count toward the Minor in Music. This Minor does not license a student to teach music in K-12 public schools.
