Music and Popular Culture Minor
|
|
The minor consists of a minimum of 5 full courses (or the equivalent) and a learning portfolio.
Note: Students must earn minimum grades of C- or P for all courses that apply toward the minor.
The music and popular culture minor allows students to explore the role of music in popular culture, broadly defined as the traditions, practices, and objects that dominate in a society at any given moment in history. In this minor, not only does music serve as a lens through which to understand mainstream cultural practices both historically and globally, but popular culture is also studied in order to provide a vantage point for understanding music in broader social and historical context.
Visit the minor’s web page for more information.

Learning Portfolio
Return to the summary of requirements. In addition to the above requirements, students will also develop a learning portfolio with substantive pieces of work from each of the classes taken to fulfill the minor. The learning portfolio must also include a reflection piece that explicitly connects the learning outcomes in the different courses. This reflection will be shared with the advisor (faculty liaison) and the Conservatory and College Interdivisional Curricular Committee for the purpose of assessing student learning. |
