Five-Year BM in Performance/MM in Education

The five-year Dual Degree Program in Music Performance & Music Education offers students the opportunity to complete both a bachelor’s degree in music performance and a master’s degree in music education in five years.

Instead of having to choose between performance and music education, students pursue both their interests. Upon completion of this program, students will be eligible to apply for licensure to teach music in schools from the Massachusetts Department of Education. The curriculum includes all of the coursework and performance opportunities afforded to performance majors along with undergraduate and graduate coursework in music education. Students do their student teaching internships and master’s projects in the fifth year.
