Music Education

Roger A. Dean, Chair
(215) 204-8310

The Department of Music Education concentrates on the development of the music educator so that competencies necessary for successful entry into the teaching profession are demonstrated at the undergraduate level.

Faculty recommendations for student teaching are not automatic and must be earned by the student through demonstrated potential in the field. Students not recommended for student teaching may be permitted to graduate after successful completion of additional course work but will not be recommended for Pennsylvania State Music Teacher Certification.

Upon successful completion of the four-year program of study, the five-year double major program of study, or the five-year program with a Jazz Studies component, and upon achieving passing scores on the Praxis Series Assessments (Professional Assessments for Beginning Teachers), students qualify for Pennsylvania state certification for public school music teachers, K-12.
