Music - Minor

The College of Music offers a 19-credit music minor for students across the CU Boulder campus. Students who wish to declare the music minor must be in good standing with the university with a minimum GPA of 2.00. The music minor is open to all students who have a sincere interest in making music a part of their university education, regardless of prior experience levels or backgrounds.

Students pursuing the music minor are required to complete a basic music theory course and participate in at least one music ensemble. Beyond that, students may choose from a variety of course options focused on creating or making music, as well as appreciating and thinking about music in relation to historical or sociocultural issues. Many elective course options for the music minor have been approved for the Arts & Sciences General Education Requirements.
