Undergraduate Music Education

The Music Education major is fully approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction and leads to certification in all levels of music teaching, opening a wide array of career opportunities. Music Education majors become not only accomplished musicians, but also develop expertise in the art of music teaching. As a Wisconsin certified music educator, you can teach at the elementary or secondary level and are licensed to teach general music, band, choir, and orchestra.  

The Music Education major is led by music faculty with doctoral degrees in music and music education who possess public and private-school teaching experience in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
