Music Education Major, B.Mus.70-84 hours It is the objective of the Department of Music to provide training and experiences to properly qualify students for positions as teachers or supervisors of music in the public schools. The program meets the requirements of the Illinois State Board of Education for the Standard Special Certificate, which qualifies the holder to teach and supervise music in grades K-12. Olivet's Teacher Education programs are accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. Since the curriculum in Music Education allows very few electives, students are advised that at least one summer session or an additional semester of study may be required to complete this program. Students desiring an undergraduate degree with a Music Education major must be received into the Teacher Education program. Students should apply for acceptance into the Teacher Education program during the sophomore year, prior to the Upper-Division Hearing. Students must pass the Illinois Subject-Matter Knowledge test prior to student teaching. Teacher certification candidates are advised that teacher licensure is constantly undergoing state and national review. The program listed in the Catalog may require revision during the student's course of study. The Piano Proficiency Exam must be satisfied before student teaching can begin.

EDUC 214 and 325 are recommended. All professional education, general education courses for teachers, major, endorsement, and supporting courses require a grade of "C" or better for teacher certification and graduation. Preparatory applied course credit does not count toward the Applied Music emphasis. The 14 hours of college-level credit are to be divided into eight hours lower-division and six hours upper-division. It is strongly recommended for students with a piano emphasis that MULT 305 Piano Pedagogy be substituted for two hours of the Applied Music upper-division requirement. |
