The minor in Musical Arts provides students with an introduction to an academic understanding of music through theory, history, music business, and piano and also provides performance opportunities through university ensembles (marching band, wind ensemble, and choir).

The musical arts minor is perfect for students of ANY major with a passion for music. If you participated in band or choir in high school and would like to continue your musical engagement and education, we invite you to add a musical arts minor.
