Music education students are exposed to a strong, flexible major they can complete in four years. Additionally, they will be equipped to teach a range of music classes — from band to choir to orchestra to general music — to students of all ages, K-12.
Our music education graduates are highly sought-after resulting in a 100% job placement rate in K-12 schools.
