Major in Music with an Outside Minor

The major in Music with an Outside Minor provides students with the combination of the professional music emphasis of the Bachelor of Music with a minor in a non-music field.  This degree provides students some expertise in a field unrelated to music and is preparation for graduate study in areas of music for which a broad music background is appropriate.
