Licensure (Track II) MMEd Curriculum
The “Licensure” Master of Music Education degree offers a tremendous experience and opportunity to students who wish to teach but chose a non-education field of study for their undergraduate degree. During the “Licensure” MMEd degree program, students enroll in pedagogical courses, that is the “How To Teach” courses for each group of instruments (woodwind, brasswind, percussion, strings, and choir) at various levels (primary and secondary). The Licensure MMEd degree, like the “Traditional” MMEd degree, provides the traditional learning environment and accomplishes two important goals, Licensure and a Masters of Music Education degree. Obtaining licensure affords the opportunity to teach in the public school environment with a starting salary at the AA Certificate level. Teachers with the bachelor’s degree earn a starting salary at the A Certificate level.
The total number of hours required for this degree plan (54-57 Hours Required) are greater than the hours required in the Traditional plan.
