Music education

Perhaps you would like to share your musical expertise and talent with a band, orchestra, or choral program in a K–12 school system. Or you might envision yourself using music in therapy with disabled youth or nursing home residents. You might be interested in applying your interest in music to work in therapeutic settings. This program can help you prepare for any of those types of career paths.

Our music education/music therapy programs attract a large number of students as the University is one of the few institutions in the upper Midwest to offer study in both areas. The college provides these programs in cooperation with the University’s School of Music. The demand is high for teachers and therapists in this field with positions available in a wide range of settings.
