Careers and a music major or minor

What will you do with a major, minor or endorsement in music?
The music minor is offered to students with an interest in music who do not intend to teach in the public schools. The course of study provides opportunities to study music from technical, cultural and performance perspectives.

Students majoring in music are further prepared to be involved in a variety of musical pursuits, including teaching in a studio setting, teaching music in grades primary through 12, participating in a variety of performance organizations and serving as a music conductor. The program also provides preparation for advanced study in performance, theory and literature.

The subject-area endorsements in music are designed to prepare elementary and secondary education students with the necessary background to teach general music and to conduct an ensemble.
