Endorsements in music

Subject-area endorsements in music

The subject-area endorsements in music are designed to prepare elementary and secondary education students with the necessary background to teach general music and to conduct an ensemble.

To insure proper sequencing of courses, students planning to pursue music endorsements should consult with the music department and the education division prior to taking courses.

Students are advised to consult with the education division about the specific degree and certification requirements for programs in education.

Specific course requirements for the subject-area endorsements within music are available in the music department office or the education division office.

The State's Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction sometimes makes changes in requirements that take precedence over information printed in the University's catalogs. To insure proper sequencing of courses, education students planning programs in music are encouraged to consult with the music department and the education division prior to taking courses.
