All students in the B.A.M. degree select a minor or a concentration. Concentrations are offered in specialized areas of music and require 9-10 credits. These include Composition Studies, Music Theory, Music History, and Sacred Music, among others.

Minors are offered in most disciplines of the university and require 18-21 credits. Students may choose from any concentration or minor approved by Rider University.

Typically this selection is made no later than the end of the sophomore year. Students are encouraged to make this decision earlier, if possible, as the date of the decision may affect progress towards a timely graduation. The declaration is made through the Registrar’s Office.

Courses taken to fulfill Arts and Sciences core requirements may be used to complete minor requirements. Interested students have the option to take elective composition lessons for an additional fee.
