The Bachelor of Music (B.M.) in Music Education prepares aspiring professional musicians and educators for careers in teaching. This program features specialized tracks in instrumental or choral/general music, combining classroom instruction with hands-on teaching experiences in real-world settings. Tailored for future public school music teachers, the curriculum leads to professional certification while offering customization options like service-learning initiatives, summer research projects, independent studies, and culminating senior thesis or capstone projects.
Music education majors maintain demanding performance standards comparable to applied music students, receiving weekly hour-long private lessons throughout their studies. The program equips graduates for direct entry into public school positions or advanced music studies, with alumni also finding success in private institutions, music studios, and community music education programs.
