Bachelor of Music in Music Education

The Bachelor of Music (B.M.), Music Education Concentration is a professional degree program designed to prepare students for teaching choral, instrumental, and general music in elementary and secondary schools. This degree prepares students to apply for music teaching licensure (grades K-12) in the state of Colorado. A feature unique to the accredited music education curriculum is the extensive field experience that students receive throughout their coursework, culminating in a semester of student teaching at the end of the program. CSU music education graduates seeking teaching positions have a 100% employment rate. Music Education students are also members of their primary instrumentvoice studio and have performance opportunities with the school’s large ensembles and chamber ensembles.

Students need to submit their most-recent transcripts or mark sheets. If a record is not in English, a certified literal English translation must accompany the official transcript. Only transcripts sent directly from the school or stamped and sealed are considered official. Admissions decisions are provisional until we receive your final transcript verifying graduation. In general, students with a 3.0+ GPA (on a 4.0 scale) and a steady or upward trend in grades are admitted to CSU.
