Students enrolled in the Music Education curriculum are challenged with core and music curriculum that prepares a well-balanced individual. Courses in the core curriculum are typically assigned freshman and sophomore enrollment numbers. Simultaneously, students begin education and performance course requirements. The Music Education Faculty at The University of Southern Mississippi feel strongly that it is equally important to be an excellent performer as it is to be an excellent teacher. Consequently, the curriculum reflects this thought process.
