BS Music Education

Students are admitted to the School of Music through the formal application and audition process, but are admitted provisionally to the Music Education Program. Prior to the completion of the fourth fulltime semester, students will be evaluated for full admission as a Candidate in the program. Students who earn a 3.00 cumulative GPA (with minimum B grade in all music education classes), pass the Basic Skills Certification Tests, complete a favorable interview with department faculty, and pass the Sophomore Evaluation, may be admitted formally into the program. Additional proficiency exams are administered during the junior year. Those who are successful may apply for student teaching. Remaining Certification Tests must be attempted prior to student teaching, and completed before recommendation for certification.
