<p>If I get in and decide to go to JMU, I want to minor in Music Industry. When I click of the Music Industry minor link on the JMU website, it takes me to the Music Program page where there is an application for student pursuing degrees in music. Do I also have to apply specifically to the Music Program to just get a minor in Music Industry? I just noticed that at other colleges with the Music Business/ Industry Program I would have to do an audition and while I can play the guitar and sing I don't know how much talent I have or how that would relate to me trying to get into the Music Industry Business. So I'm just trying to get prepared for anything.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for your help :)</p>
