Master
of Music in Music Education (MM-ME)
Primarily intended for current
music teachers or those interested in becoming
a K-12 music teacher, the MM-ME focuses on
the science, philosophy, and theory of teaching
music, while also exploring artistic aspects
of choral music. The MM-ME is also an appropriate
degree for someone interested in pursuing
a Ph.D. in Music Education with the ultimate
goal of teaching at the collegiate level.
See the Academic
Catalog for specific details on coursework
and other requirements.
Performance
Option
The Performance Option of the MM-ME is similar
to the MM in Choral Conducting, but without
the residency requirement, and with a stronger
emphasis on music educational theory, philosophy,
and research.
Teacher
Education Option
Designed for students without an undergraduate
teaching degree and/or certificate (e.g.
BM in Vocal Performance or a BA in Music),
who are now interested in teaching at the
K-12 level. Includes additional undergraduate
courses necessary for teacher certification.
Thesis Option
Primarily designed for future music education
Ph.D. students, this traditional course
of study focuses directly on educational
theory, philosophy, and research, and culminates
with a thesis.
Independent
Study Option
Similar to the Thesis Option, but with more
flexibility for current public school teachers,
the Independent Study typically involves
research associated with a current teaching
position.
