The following is a list of the courses required for a Music Minor.
As this is intended as a secondary course of instruction (to complement your major), there is no suggested schedule for when to take your courses. Course codes and units are listed. To see brief descriptions of the courses, see below in the Music Curriculum section.
All Music Majors and Minors must take their required music courses with the A-F grading option, with the exception of Music 1000 (Concert Attendance).
- Students must earn a C or bettering order to meet Major/Minor requirements. Courses where a student has earned a D or F will not count towards Major or Minor requirements.
- The grade of Incomplete (I) in a music course must be made up within the first two weeks of the following semester. Failure to do so will result in a grade of F or N.
Required Courses

- Music 1101 (4 cr.)
- Music 1102 (4 cr.)
- Music 3101 (4 cr.)

Some courses require multiple iterations.
- Music 1000 must be taken four times.
