General Music Minor

Open to all JMU undergraduate students, the general music minor develops both the performing and non-performing musician’s understanding of music. The minor requires the successful completion of six hours drawn from three areas – fundamentals, literature and history, and electives – for a total of 18 credit hours. Students must earn 50 percent of the required curriculum at JMU.

The minor in music does not qualify a student to teach music in Virginia public schools.
