Our Master of Music Education degree equips students with essential teaching, administrative, and leadership competencies for diverse educational environments. The Division of Music Education at UNT is committed to cultivating exceptional leaders in the field.
Choose between two specialized tracks: a teaching focus for classroom educators seeking to deepen their instructional expertise, or a research orientation ideal for those pursuing higher education teaching or doctoral studies. Both pathways culminate in a comprehensive examination involving either a thesis defense or project practicum evaluation. Our faculty actively engage in cutting-edge research across diverse areas such as choral pedagogy, community music programs, equity initiatives, instrumental teaching methods, and music sociology.
Renowned faculty members regularly publish in academic journals, author textbooks, and present at conferences worldwide. Students benefit from exceptional facilities including over 300 practice spaces, seven concert venues, multiple classrooms and rehearsal areas, plus dedicated technology labs.

Qualification Requirements
An earned Bachelor's degree in Music Education.
A record of at least one (1) year of full-time, successful teaching experience in group instructional settings is recommended prior to admission. It is also recommended that this experience be completed at the institution level of a public or private school. Exceptional applicants who will be beginning their teaching career in the semester following the first summer of study will be considered. Private studio teaching alone may not suffice as a substitution for group instructional activities. The appropriateness of a candidate's teaching experiences will be evaluated by the Music Education Graduate Faculty.
A current r'sum or vitae
A written response to the following prompt: Describe what you perceive to be the most important benefits to students from participating in school music. Your response should include supporting evidence in the form of references to appropriate sources, including citations and/or quotations. While this is not a research paper, the Music Education Graduate Faculty does want to see evidence of appropriate writing style and the ability to form a logical, coherent argument.
A personal philosophy statement that addresses teaching, music, and long-range professional goals
Three (3) letters of recommendation from three (3) persons qualified to evaluate the applicant's accomplishments and merits. These will be submitted using the online form included on the College of Music application.
*A teaching video that highlights classroom instructional episodes, such as rehearsals, warm-ups, or other activities.
General Application Information
No performance audition is required in order to apply to the MMEd program.
Please note that application to the Toulouse Graduate School is separate from application to the College of Music, and that admission to the Graduate School does not imply acceptance to the Music Education program.
Applicants are expected to submit GRE scores (verbal and written analytical portions only) at the time of application in order to be considered for graduate studies in music education. This is especially important for applicants who wish to be considered for full-time status
In order for the Coordinator of the Master's Program to give full consideration to applicants files, all supporting materials and Toulouse Graduate School requirements must be fulfilled. Application files will not be submitted to the Coordinator for review until such time as they are complete.
Once completed files have been reviewed, notifications of acceptance or denial will be sent to applicants from the College of Music Office of Graduate Studies, typically within a two-week time frame.
