Students in this minor will gain hands-on experience working with music faculty and music students to build music knowledge and skills.

Courses and Curriculum

  2. Offer an area of study, complementary to many non-music major fields of study, which will add a breadth and depth of perspective.
  3. Give students a broader level of understanding and the resources to think creatively and divergently, and act as conceptual problem solvers.
