Beschreibung des Programms

The Department of Music, which is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music, provides programs in conjunction with the College of Education, leading to the Master of Education degree. The Master of Education in Music Education program provides training for Class A certification, Nursery-12th grades, in instrumental music or in vocal/choral music for teaching in public systems.

Admission to graduate study is first secured through The Murphy Graduate School. Students applying for admission must present the following:

A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution with a major in music or in music education; A grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale; An acceptable GRE or MAT score presented upon admission, or during the first semester of residence; M.Ed. students see requirements for admission to a teacher education program; and Three letters of reference.

For graduate study in the Department of Music, further requirements specified by the Department of Music Graduate Faculty must be completed. These include:

An evaluative interview and audition with the graduate faculty of the Department of Music. Completion of minimum requirements as established by an initial advisory examination in general music knowledge, music history, music education and music theory.

Evaluative Interview

Applicants will be asked to have an evaluative interview and diagnostic written examination in music content knowledge as part of the application process. The student should personally contact the Department of Music office to make arrangements for an evaluative interview with the Graduate Coordinator of the department. This interview will provide an opportunity for the student to express educational goals, interests or concerns and gain a solid understanding of his or her degree requirements. Additionally, the written advisory examination, which is diagnostic in purpose, will be scheduled. Questions concerning this examination may be asked during the interview.

Advisory Examination

The written advisory examination is administered during the evaluative interview. Applicants should be prepared to demonstrate knowledge of basic concepts of general music knowledge, music history, music education and music theory.

The purpose of the examination is to assist in planning a course of study consistent with degree requirements and the student’s assessed needs and expressed interests. If serious deficiencies are discovered, applicants will be required to complete a written examination in order to devise a plan of remediation. This plan may include additional and/or remedial coursework. Unconditional acceptance in the program will be granted only after such remediation is completed.

Basic Exit Criteria for Advanced Degrees

Before a master’s candidate can be said to have fulfilled all degree requirements, the candidate must pass a comprehensive examination in music education and professional education.
