Music M.M.: Music Education
The Master of Music in Music Education provides exceptional graduate-level training in music education for public school music teachers, and prepares students for the possibility of doctoral study in music education.
Teachers will enhance their research skills and knowledge, learn about the most current trends in today’s music education field, and continue to develop their own comprehensive knowledge of music through study of music theory, history and analysis within the Graduate Music Core.
The program may be taken on-campus, or via Zoom, video conferencing, and Blackboard, an eLearning platform. For our on-campus students, opportunities for applied study and ensemble participation are also available. The online program is delivered in a cohort model, allowing you to study with the same group of teachers throughout the program.
