Bachelors in Music Education

The purpose of the Educational Foundations (EdF) major is to prepare future elementary educational professionals who are critical thinkers and well-informed about pedagogical practice, and who possess the knowledge and skills that will enable them to provide education for all students in economically, racially, culturally, and linguistically diverse communities.The major is designed as a two-year program completed during the undergraduate junior and senior year. This is a pre-professional degree, and while the major does not result in a teaching license, it does prepare graduates who are highly competitive for admission into master s level teacher certification programs in Oregon and around the country.
