Music Education
The Bachelor of Arts in Music Education is a Professional Program equivalent to that of the Bachelor of Music Education, that provides the skills necessary for teaching music in public or private schools in California. It is recommended for anyone planning a teaching career in music.
The program consists of a core of basic Music major requirements, plus specialized courses for prospective teachers of vocal, instrumental, and general music in elementary, junior high, and senior high schools.
The Integrated Program is now available to Freshman. Students in this program take coursework in education along with music and general education throughout their undergraduate years eventually graduating with both a B. A. and a teaching credential simultaneously. The Integrated Program requires formal application to SSU's Single Subject Program prior to the junior year.
The BA in Music Education is an approved teacher preparation program by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) and as an approved professional degree by the National Association of Schools of Music (NASM).
