B.A. in Music Education
This program of study is designed for students seeking careers as a school music teacher at the elementary, middle and/or high school levels. The course of study prepares future music teachers in all areas - instrumental, choral, and general music - and also prepares students for continued study at the graduate level. Students seeking this degree generally possess considerable prerequisite musical skill and ensemble experience.
Music Education majors begin their program of study during the spring semester of their sophomore year. Because Music Education is a cohort program, it is imperative that interested students declare their intent to become music education certification candidates by following the above admission to teacher education procedures before fall registration in the spring of their freshman year.
In addition to this program of study, candidates must also meet the general education requirements outlined under ETHOS.
