Minors
As an enrolled Boston Conservatory at Berklee undergraduate student, you can complete a minor program of study in addition to your declared major. Minors consist of a minimum of 10–12 credits and are meant to provide you with the opportunity to gain a breadth and depth of understanding in a focused area of study outside of your declared major. Students may declare a minor at the end of their second semester or later, and may begin studies in their minor at the beginning of their third semester at the earliest.
