Music Minor

Overview

Music is a vital part of a broad liberal arts curriculum. As a means of worship, community engagement, and self-expression, the study of music offers a variety of ways for students to pursue the glory of God and offer service to humanity. A minor in music provides students basic training for a wide variety of professions and interests.
