What Sets Us Apart

There are many benefits associated with adding a  music minor to your major area of study. Often, students who participated in musical ensembles or took music lessons in high school desire to continue learning about music, but have chosen to major in an area outside of music. Our minors also students to continue studying music and expressing themselves musically while still allowing students plenty of time to pursue their major. Many music minors report that minoring music has been a wonderful creative outlet and counterpoint to their major area of study.  Minoring in music is also a great option for those who are interested in working in the music industry but who may not be musicians themselves.  Here are some other perks of being a music minor: 

• Ability to study music with School of Music Faculty

• Performance Opportunities in world-class facilities such as Buddy Holly Hall
