A minor in music (non-teaching, 20 hours minimum) is available in the various baccalaureate degrees. Hours earned at other institutions may count towards the minor if they fulfill the requirements. In some instances, adjustments may be made to the requirements. Details of the minor should be planned in consultation with a Department of Music faculty member and the approval of the Chairperson of the Department of Music early in the student's academic program.
