Elective Music Minor
The elective minor in music is a special 16-hour concentration of selected courses developed to meet the student’s individual interests, as approved by the director of the Greatbatch School of Music. It may include some applied and/or ensemble work but requires a minimum of eight credits of coursework other than applied lessons or ensembles. The course of study agreed upon by the student and department is placed on file in the Registrar’s Office.
