Music Education majors are required to consult the "Music Education Handbook" and the "Student Teacher Guidelines" for details related to teacher certification and internship matters.
Music education majors are required to take the Praxis® Core Academic Skills for Educators Tests (PCASET) (formerly Praxis I) during their freshman year. They must pass the test before being permitted to enroll in MUS 451, MUS 452, MUS 458, or MUS 462. Music Education majors must consult with their adviser for current Praxis I score requirements.
Students must register each semester for MUS 150, Field Experiences in Music Education, until they acquire 100 hours (typically completed in six semesters) total of field experience.
Music elective credits, when used as substitutes for music course credits, may be satisfied by either MUS or MUPI. In order for MUPI credits to count toward the degree, a jury is required.
