Description
The minor in Music, general studies, is designed to provide undergraduate students with a knowledge of historical and analytical approaches to the study of music in addition to the opportunity to perform in an ensemble. It is particularly well-suited to students who wish to study music as a discipline of the humanities. Coursework includes an introduction to the study of music, courses in music analysis, two semesters in a performance ensemble, and a choice of courses on specialized topics, including the study of popular musics, non-western musical traditions, music and gender, music technology, and the works of individual composers.
