MANHATTANVILLE COLLEGE MUSIC DEPARTMENT 

MUSIC MINOR REQUIREMENTS 

(effective Fall, 1996)

Required Distribution of Courses

 The Music Department offers a flexible Minor in Music that requires a distribution of courses from three areas of study within the Department. Requirements for the Minor in Music are fulfilled by the completion of eighteen credits in Music. Nine credits must be in approved courses covering the areas of: 

at least 3 credits Applied Music or Technology beginning with MUA or MUAT
at least 3 credits Music History beginning with MUH
at least 3 credits Music Theory beginning with MUT

No fewer than three credits must be taken in each of these areas.  

The remaining 9 credits beyond the required distribution may be from any Music Department offerings, and may be used by students to explore a sub area of Music. For example, a student may choose to focus on Music Management by taking three MuMG courses, or may choose to take a variety of courses.  

Transfer Credits

At least 9 of the total 18 credits must be taken at Manhattanville; no more than 9 credits may be transferred in from other institutions. 

Intent to Minor

A grade of at least C- is required for credit towards the Music Minor. Approval by the Director of Music is required for the Minor in Music, and all students interested in the Music Minor should register their intent with the Music Office, Room 103 in the Music Building.

Note: The Department offers the Minor only as a “Minor in Music,” without specifying concentration. Only that designation will appear on the transcript.
