Note: The first term for admission into this program is Winter 2024.
This certificate will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students who study music performance, composition, jazz studies, performing arts management, sound recording technology, and the BA in music. Many musicians in the previously listed majors will go on to teach as part of their professional life, and teaching in class settings is a skill they will need.
Students who pursue this certificate would be required to take 4 classes within the music education sequence: Intro to Music Education (2 quarter hours), Foundations of Music Teaching and Learning I and II (each 2 quarter hours - curricular design in music and culturally responsive teaching in music respectively) and a music education elective (2 credits), excluding instrument and vocal technique courses. The total credit allocation for the certificate would be 8 credits which could count toward music electives required within the other music degrees.
