Program Requirements

Peabody students wishing to earn a Bachelor of Music or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with a minor in Liberal Arts must complete six courses at the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences (KSAS) on the Homewood campus with at least three at the 200-level or higher. At least one of the courses must be a writing-focused course, with the designation “FA 1: Writing and Communication” in the KSAS course listing. Introductory language courses and KSAS music courses may not be used for the minor.

Given the requirements of this minor and the nature of the coursework, the Liberal Arts minor essentially subsumes the Liberal Arts elective requirement of the BM or BFA degree. All students applying for this minor must have their proposed program of study approved by the Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies in consultation with the Chair of Liberal Arts.
