Music

The minor in Music is for students who choose to continue their studies in Music beyond the Sufficiency project requirement without majoring in Music. Students who, for personal or career purposes, wish to achieve official recognition of their achievements in Music, yet do not find the time to fulfill the requirements for the major, should consider the Music minor option. Interested students should speak with one of the music faculty in the Department of Humanities and Arts. Because performance is an integral component of music study with proposed minor will contain performance emphasis and consist of two units of work distributed as follows:

  1. 1/3 unit for participation in MU IS/P Ensembles.
  2. 1/3 unit Performance IS/P as the capstone experience. Student, with faculty guidance, will present a recital, original composition, or other musical performance that demonstrates the student’s skill and knowledge.
  3. 1 1/3 units of music courses.
  4. If a student completes his/her Sufficiency project in music, 1 unit of that work may be applied to the minor except for the final IS/P.
  5. A student who is pursuing a major in Humanities and Arts with music as the major field cannot also receive a minor in music.

The submission of the Minor in Music Form [PDF 140KB] is required.
