Students who minor in jazz studies will take courses in American Musical Experience, Jazz Improvisation, Jazz Harmony, Jazz History, and perform with the Jazz Band.

Minors are a secondary area of academic focus. Declaring a minor can be helpful if you are wanting a different area of study, but not declaring another major. You can minor in something that compliments your major, or something you find interesting!
