"The training I received at UM is the backbone, the very foundation of what I'm doing today. In a world where technology changes every six months, you have at UM an administration and a faculty who are open to looking at the latest things out there, and to introducing them into the curriculum. I'd pick UM again in a minute -- no doubt about it." Jon Secada, |

a second major area. Areas for the minor can be chosen from the University's
various schools and colleges. Popular minors for Frost School of Music
students include the programs in the School of Communication, Pre-Medical,
Pre-Law, Business, English Literature, and Psychology. Many other
