Can I get a minor in Music(vocals) while also getting my bachelors in fashion?

Hi Eimee:. Thank you for this question. A lot of first-year college students tend to think that all colleges and universities offer the same majors. Many students also tend to think that all schools offer all majors. In a actually, that is not the case. Smaller colleges tend to offer fewer majors (less instructors, less classrooms, less buildings) but more one-on-one time with instructions. On the flip side of this, larger colleges have a larger set of options. Because your considerations are so specific, I would encourage you to look at art schools. For that reason, I would encourage you to look closely at the larger size colleges and even closer at their art programs. Some colleges are now allowing students to create their major/ or minor. So short answer is yes, but may need to be creative to do both depending on the university. Best of luck with your education! thank

Hello Eimee!

Minors do not have the be related to your major. People often choose a minor that compliments their major, but it is not a requirement. I recently graduated and I knew plenty of people who chose a minor that interested them even if it was not related to their major.

If you are interested in a Music minor, I would highly encourage you to try it out. You can always switch minors if you decide that you want to go with something else. If you are still worried about having a minor related to fashion, another option is to double-minor. This is definitely going to add to your workload, but not as much as a double major would. If you decide to double major, make sure to figure out your 4-year plan with your college advisor once you start school to ensure that you can graduate on time and that you classes are evenly spread across your 4 years.

Good luck with your education!
