Graduate Studies in Music Education
Over the years the undergraduate and graduate Music Education programs have grown to a position of national prominence. In addition to an outstanding Music Education faculty, a Music faculty with expertise in Musicology/Ethnomusicology, Theory, Composition, Conducting, and Performance is available with whom the students have the opportunity to study and excel. The Music Education faculty includes nationally recognized specialists in general music, choral, band and string education. The degree emphasizes musicianship, research, and advanced instructional methods. Doctoral students pursuing the Ph. D. degree must possess successful teaching experience and show evidence of musicianship. Applicants interested in the Master of Music (Music Education) or a Master of Arts (Music Education) degree should apply directly to the School of Music.

The University Libraries house a unique Special Collections in Performing Arts in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library, which includes archival documents from the Music Educators National Conference, the International Society for Music Education, the American Bandmasters Association, the National Association of College Wind and Percussion Instructors, and the International Clarinet Society.
