Our BFA in Music Education program is a comprehensive, four-year program that provides a strong foundation in music theory, history, performance and teaching.

We support you during every step on your journey to becoming a music teacher. You’ll participate in field experiences focused on helping you successfully respond to different cultures in the classroom. Our faculty and education partners are all experienced educators with a deep commitment to supporting the next generation of teachers.
