Music

The discipline of Music is made up of three areas: Music History (MHIS), Applied Music (MAPP), and Music Theory (MTHY).

These programs share an interest in the music-making of the entire world and a fascination for why human beings, societies, and subcultures make the kinds of music they do.

A minor in Music consists of one course in Music Theory and 12 hours of upper-division credit in music history or music theory (Effective Fall 2014).  Some upper-division music history classes are designed as cross-disciplinary courses in African and African-American Studies, Film (JASS) and Women's and Gender Studies.
