Masters in Music Education - Four Summers Option

To further meet the needs of the active public school music educator (and others), Ball State is initiating a four-summer master’s degree program. Accepted students have the option of completing the degree in four summer sessions. Required courses are offered in a rotation that allows for completion of the program during summer sessions only.

Sample Program Sequence
This sequence assumes the following:

• Theory and History Placement Tests are passed.
  (if not, Review Courses must be taken in addition to the prescribed outline of courses)
  
• The Thesis Option (6 credits) for the Final Project.
  Other options are available, but will involve 3-6 additional credit hours in lieu
  of the 6 credit hour thesis project.
  
• See School of Music Graduate Handbook for details.
