  The Department of Music offers the Master of Music Education degree. The purpose is to develop the candidate's qualities of professional leadership. The curriculum is planned to (1) emphasize the investigation of important ideas and practices pertaining to school music, (2) continue the development of musical skills and concepts, and (3) provide opportunities to acquire both greater breadth of musicianship and a useful degree of specialization as it affects the music teaching/learning process.

  Applicants must meet the Murray State University requirements for admission to Graduate School as well as those described on the departmental page in The Graduate Bulletin. Each student who wishes to be considered for admission to graduate study leading to the Master of Music Education degree must have the following additional qualifications:

    Additional Requirements
     
      During the first semester of course work the student, in consultation with the graduate advisor, must list the chosen courses from the 30-hour curriculum on the Program of Studies form supplied by the Graduate Admissions Office. Thereafter, any changes in this program must be accompanied by a Change of Program form in consultation with the graduate advisor.

      Upon completion of nine hours of course work with a grade point average of at least 3.0, the student must initiate an official "Admission to Candidacy for the MME" by completing the appropriate form in consultation with the graduate advisor.

      The following exams must be completed during the first term of enrollment:
