The 100% online Classroom Pedagogy Track program is designed for those with a degree in music education who are currently certified music teachers. This track offers course options in general, choral, and instrumental music. This 30-credit MME program is ideal for the working music teacher and will help you further your professional development and prepare you to be a leader in our field.

Please note that this program does not lead to teacher certification.
If you have not taken all the required classes for Music Education during your undergraduate degree program, you may need to take some in-person classes. A program of study requiring the appropriate additional in-person undergraduate classes can be developed for someone who does not have the requisite degree or certification by consultation with the music department graduate adviser. International students who are music teachers outside of the United States might not require state certification.
