Jazz Studies Minor


Banner Code: JAZZ

This minor is open to music and non music majors who wish to explore America’s unique art form. It is open to all instrumentalists and vocalists, including students who perform on instruments not normally associated with jazz. No prior experience in jazz is needed, but candidates must pass a music audition. Students in the keyboard area use the Keyboard Skills I credit as a music elective.

University policy states that students must earn 8 distinct credits that are not used for their major toward their degree, with a minimum 2.00 GPA earned in all courses applied to the minor.  See AP.5 Undergraduate Policies  for details.
