4+2 Program in Music Education

Students enrolled in The College's Bachelor of Arts degree program with a concentration in music who wish to be certified to teach music in New York State can apply for the 4+2 Program in Music Education, a sequence of study jointly offered through The College and the Eastman School. This program combines the requirements for the BA in music, teacher certification, and the MA in music education within a period of six years. Students begin their program of study with the BA in The College, and apply for early admission to the master's program in music education at the Eastman School in the spring of their junior year of study. Students should consult with the chair of The College Music Department as soon as possible during their enrollment if they are interested in this option.
