Music Worship Leadership Minor (WLDP)

Our new Music: Worship Leadership major is housed in the School of Music and offers a fully-functioning major in music/worship leadership with a core of worship-specific courses included.

This Music: Worship Leadership minor prepares students with information and skills that are applicable to a variety of careers in music and ministry. We educate students to enter the vast arena of worship ministry including training in worship technology, rehearsal techniques, production elements, service planning, team-building, varied denominational models, worship theology and philosophy, and church administration.

Minor Requirements

The Music: Worship Leadership minor offers a condensed version of the major worship core, ministry core and music core for a total of eighteen credit hours. Seven of those credit hours must be in the area of applied music lessons (voice, piano, and/or guitar). 

MUPS Private Instruction - Students may complete all 7 applied music hours in the same area of concentration, or some combination of applied options (voice, piano and/or guitar). As the student takes more advanced levels of the same instrument, the section number increases to reflect this.

Example: MUPS 1121 Voice: Private instruction (freshmen year)

                             2121 Voice: Private (sophomore year)

An audition for the School of Music is NOT REQUIRED for students wishing to enroll in the minor.
