Master of Music Education (MME) Degree Program

The Master of Music Education (MME-ME) degree with a major in Music Education requires a minimum of 30-credits and is designed to further the student's knowledge, practice, and experience in the field of music education. The Music Education graduate programs include advanced professional and scholarly study for music educators, licensure/certification programs for those with baccalaureate degrees in other fields who plan to enter the music education professions (these initial licensure/certification programs typically also require collateral undergraduate study), and advanced study for individuals in related disciplines. Areas of emphasis, curricula, examinations, and regulations and procedures are described in the MEMT Master's Handbook.

 A list of all course offerings can be found on the Schedule of Classes. To track progress, please download the degree progress check-sheet (.pdf).

Students will study with faculty members who are nationally and internationally recognized in their fields. The resulting degree ends with either a comprehensive exam for a non-thesis terminal degree or a thesis for those expecting to pursue doctoral work. With the MME degree, music educators teach at the junior college, secondary, or elementary level, and/or pursue research.
