Minor in Music (Undergraduate)

Only a limited number of students can be admitted each year to the minor in music, based on the available spaces in a given area. Students will only be accepted for a minor in music through the Conservatory of Music audition process.

The minor in music requires 21 to 25 credits, depending on the area of study. The course of study includes:

• Four semesters of private or master class instruction in the area of specialization
• Two semesters of theory or models
• Two semesters of solfège or ear training
• Two semesters of secondary piano*
  *for students in areas other than piano performance
• Two semesters of music history (any courses)
• Two semesters of ensemble (placement by audition)

Associated fees and exceptions:

• Refer to "How to apply..." for instructions and the audition fee.
  
  
• Students minoring in music are charged the applied music fee ($1,101.24 per semester) to cover private lessons and/or master classes, as well as the performance lab fee ($35 per semester). Please note that fees are subject to annual increases.
  
  
• Students majoring in a Conservatory of Music program cannot minor in another area of music. However, they can (with permission of the instructor) pursue study in another area within the Conservatory. Music majors who audition for another music program will not be charged an audition fee. However, they will be charged an additional applied music fee if they take secondary lessons.
