The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
Minor in History
The history minor emphasizes the value of historical study to the development of the musician as an informed and responsible world citizen. Students explore concepts of historical thinking and research. They examine and evaluate primary and secondary sources, and learn to incorporate sources in their own writing. Students also learn to synthesize multiple views. Students develop their own analyses of historical events, as they assess and organize historical evidence, and confront bias in historical writings. The history minor provides artistic, philosophical, cultural, and historical context for the music and art that students study. The minor enhances students' artistic and cultural perspective.
Students must complete the following coursework before beginning the minor and must follow the regular declaration of minor procedure as outlined in the Registration Manual. This minor is managed by the Liberal Arts Department.
