"Hi, I’m Dawson, a current student in the Theatre minor. I would totally recommend this program! What I love most about the theatre minor is how much we explore ourselves and our capabilities. I learn more than just my major – I learn about myself and my personal character.” - Dawson LeVan ‘25 (Communication)
A college minor involves taking classes in a specific subject area. It requires less credits than a full-on major.
Taking a minor can allow you to explore an area you’re interested in without devoting a whole major’s courseload of time to it. A minor can be beneficial in complementing your major or helping you gain important skills that employers value.
Additionally, minoring in the arts can promote self-care skills and provide a creative outlet.
Studying music in college can be both enjoyable and helpful to your future. If you enjoy performing, pursuing a music, jazz, or theatre minor will allow you to do so. Between Roberts’ many ensembles, combos, concerts, and more, you’ll get many chances to perform.
A music, jazz, or theatre minor can also be beneficial in preparing you for a career in music. It may also be helpful in combination to a non-music major, in ways you may not even realize.
What can I do with a music minor?
A music minor is flexible and can complement a variety of careers. The skills you learn in a music, jazz, or theatre minor can help boost your career in a creative industry.
Even if you are not seeking a career in the arts, your creative passions can be an effective way to prevent professional burnout and maintain a vibrant life.
