Music Minor

The minor consists of a minimum of 5 full courses (or the equivalent).

Note: Students must earn minimum grades of C- or P for all courses that apply toward the minor.

 View the catalog page for the Musical Studies Program.  

The minor in music is designed for College students who want to structure and organize their studies in the Conservatory during their time at Oberlin. The specific requirements provide basic guidance while also allowing students to explore and pursue a variety of music-focused classes and activities and to follow their own interests.

Students wishing to complete the music minor should consult with their academic advisor or a member of the curricular committee and complete the Minor Add or Drop form. The form requires the signature of one of the minor faculty co-chairs. Students must obtain prior approval for any substitution.

Note: Students must pick up the Minor Add or Drop form in the Office of the Registrar. The completed form must then be submitted, in person, to the Office of the Registrar for processing. The Office of the Registrar is located in Carnegie (direct entrance off N. Professor St.) between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday - Friday. There is a dropbox located in the lobby of Carnegie for after-hours submission.
