The Minor in Music Technology gives students the opportunity to learn about important techniques and methodologies applied to music using technology, computation, and engineering. Minors take additional subjects to broaden their understanding of music through theory, history/culture, and/or performance.

*Students who enter with a background that allows them to place out of Music Theory (21M.301) will instead take 24 units of Music Scholarship and Performance, 12 units from History and Culture AND 12 units from Music Performance. Students needing preparation for 21M.301 should take 12 units of 21M.051 (Fundamentals of Music) or 6 units of 21M.150 or 21M.151 (Introductory Music Theory) as part of their “Restricted Electives.”
** Subjects have prerequisites outside of the minor.
