[Advising] New Music Minors

Hello Advising Community, There has been quite a bit of buzz and excitement surrounding the new minors from the Music Department, so I would like to share that information with all of you. Three new minors will be joining the traditional Music minor in the fall semester with the 17-18 catalog, and they are open to all students. As a reminder, students must declare any Music minor with the Music Department (ART 3.01.58). Advisors cannot add these minors as the Music Department needs to ensure the student possesses the musical ability to be successful in the courses. Minor in Music Technology (previously a certificate) To declare the Minor in Music Technology, students must interview with a Music Department advisor and submit the Declaration of Music Minor Form.
