Master of Education (60 points)

                                                                                                                 
The general course requirement is a minimum of 60 graduate semester hours, 30 points of which must be completed under the auspices of Columbia University, with at least 18 points in Teachers College coursework. Candidates who have earned a Master of Arts degree  from Teachers College must complete at least 45 of the 60 graduate points at Teachers College.

 

Programs of study and courses for the degree are divided into four general areas: (1) Pedagogy, (2) Research, (3) Comprehensive Musicianship, and (4) Music Performance. A program of study should reflect a balance of courses in these areas. 

 

In addition to the music program courses, each candidate is expected to complete four courses of at least 2 points each from outside the program in Music Education. These electives are to be selected from areas deemed appropriate in consultation with the faculty advisor.
