Music Minor

Providing opportunities to explore music as part of your collegiate studies.

University Symphonic Band

Providing opportunities to explore music as a secondary aspect of your collegiate studies.

Pursuing a minor in Music allows students to deepen their knowledge of music, as well as further develop their performing skills. Since many other majors as FSU (such as English, Political Science, etc.) require completion of a self-selected minor, students wishing to continue their studies in music may pair a music minor with their chosen major outside of the College of Music. In some cases, students completing the music minor opt to pursue a music major instead, and they are usually able to transition seamlessly from one to the other.

Admission to the program requires an application and successful audition. Students will complete a minimum of 25 hours of specified coursework in the following areas: Applied Music, Music Theory, Music History/Literature, Ensemble, and Student Recital Attendance.
