Music (Minor)

Why is a music minor?

If you have a serious interest in music but want to major in another field, the music minor is for you. You’ll study music theory and literature, selecting courses from a wide variety of options. At the same time, you’ll be able to continue to enjoy making music with our many performing ensembles. Combining the music minor with a major such as engineering, psychology, business, theatre, math and others expands your career opportunities or helps you prepare for further studies.
