Overview
Offered by the Department of Music Education and Music Therapy, the Bachelor of Music in Music Education/Jazz focuses on developing music educators at the undergraduate level who will be ready for successful entry into the teaching profession.

Upon successful completion of this five-year program 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.
