Training
•The 18-credit Composition minor is designed for music majors who need to arrange, transcribe, compose and notate music for their own professional settings.
•Students can shape the credit sequence around concert music, jazz or media scoring while developing music tailored to particular performers and uses.
Performance & Productions
•The creative work addresses practical needs faced by teachers, conductors, performers, church musicians and recording-studio musicians, linking notation craft to music that others can rehearse and perform.
Professional Development
•SFA frames the minor as preparation for music work that requires original or adapted material rather than relying only on existing repertoire.
Degree Flexibility
•Because the 18 credits are customizable, music majors can align the minor with their creative and professional goals without replacing their primary music degree.
