Admission into the Minor
All students must pass an audition in order to declare a minor in music. To schedule an audition, students must fill out a separate application to the School of Music, which is available online at music.ua.edu/undergraduates/auditions.
Auditions typically take place between January and March prior to fall enrollment. Upon successful audition, students may declare a minor by meeting with an academic advisor and requesting the minor be added to their academic record.
