Music Education
M.S. in Secondary Education with a Concentration in Music
Are you a licensed music teacher with a bachelor’s degree looking to enhance your qualifications?
Our M.S. Ed. program offers a concentration in music that provides 30 hours of graduate-level coursework for in-depth knowledge of music educational content, as well as an understanding of theories relating to pedagogy and learning. A significant portion of graduate coursework may be taken as applied study, ie. instrumental or vocal lessons.
The concentration in music meets required accreditation outcomes, prepares candidates with required research skills, guarantees that curriculum needs are met, and adds the recognition of a concentration in music to the M.S. Ed. degree.
