Program Requirements
The Musicology minor is designed for students with an interest in music history beyond the core requirements. Students should apply for this minor after taking at least one course in the Musicology department. Students approved for the minor will take Foundations of Music Research and two electives from either the PY.610.3xx (Topics in Musicology) or PY.610.6xx (graduate seminars) offerings. Students complete the minor with a personally supervised capstone project.
Any credits taken in pursuit of the Musicology minor may also be applied as general electives for the BM degree. Some of the courses taken for the minor may count as Liberal Arts electives, but only on a case-by-case basis and in consultation with the Director of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies and the Chair of Liberal Arts. With the exception of Foundations of Music Research, students who matriculate to the five-year (4+1) BM/MM program or continue in the MM program may not apply elective courses for the minor to their MM if those courses have already been counted as electives for the BM.
