This program is offered on both a full-time and part-time basis and begins in September. We have ONE admissions cycle per year.
Prerequisites
An appropriate bachelor's degree with high academic standing from a recognized university is required. Applicants in music education will normally be required to have had two years of teaching experience, although this requirement may be waived at the discretion of the Department. An in-person interview with the music education faculty will be scheduled once the required essay is received. This may be substituted by a videotaped interview at the discretion of the faculty. We must receive all the supporting documents on-line by December 12, 2011.
