Music and the Liberal Arts Wittenberg offers a rich variety of courses and musical opportunities for students not majoring in music, and in recent years the Music Minor has been growing in popularity. The Department of Music sponsors 11 instrumental and vocal ensembles, which are open to student participation regardless of major. Initial placement in an ensemble is determined by audition or interview with the ensemble conductor. Regular rehearsal times are set aside within the academic schedule, and credits may be awarded toward the completion of individual degree programs depending on the requirements of specific majors. Music Scholarships and Aid Talent-based scholarships are awarded on a competitive basis to students majoring and minoring in music, but a limited number of awards are also available for students who participate in music ensembles or other programs while completing majors in other disciplines.
All awards are renewable annually, up to four years.
