Because of its scope and breadth, the Music Education degree is considered to be a professional, baccalaureate degree in music rather than a traditional liberal arts degree. Therefore, the terminology Bachelor of Music Education (BMEd) is used to designate this degree program. The General Education core has been modified to reflect the extensive music and professional education components in the program.
Degree Requirements
