Music Education majors at Nazareth College qualify for Birth-12 Certification in Music from the New York State Department of Education. (Currently, 41 states participate with New York in an Interstate Reciprocity Agreement that recognizes New York State Certification as a legitimate teaching credential within their states.) As a state certification requirement, students complete professional courses in instrumental, choral, and general music methods. In addition to a Music Senior Experience, the Student Teaching Experience serves as the capstone for this program. A minimum Grade Point Average of 2.7 is required for student teacher placement. To earn Teacher Certification, students must complete all professional courses (as defined in the Department Handbook) with a grade of “C” or higher, and must successfully pass the New York State Teacher Certification Exams. The Bachelor of Music Degree in Music Education requires a minimum of 136 credits.
Note: The program listed below is the traditional 4-year program. A nine semester program of study is available in the Department of Music Student Handbook. The nine semester program does not require summer study.
