The minor in music gives students a solid foundation in music theory, aural skills, and applied study, while allowing each student the flexibility to pursue their special interests—whether in performance, history, theory, music technology, or composition. Minors participate fully in music department ensembles. The music minor is especially suited to students whose academic load does not leave room for a second major.
