Master of Music Education (M.M.E.)

Program Summary

The Master of Music in Music Education degree is a 30-credit graduate program specifically designed for current school ensemble directors who want to continue working while obtaining their degree. Teachers will utilize their classrooms as experimental laboratories while they master best practices, broaden their pedagogy, and grow as artists themselves. Students will meet for three-week on-campus sessions in June, then complete their coursework online throughout the school year. This schedule is tailored to match the schedules of busy teachers. With over 1/3 of the degree being electives and individualized projects, teachers can improve in the areas of their choice.
