All certification students must meet the core requirements of the undergraduate students in music education. Certification students must take courses in four basic areas: music, liberal studies, music education, and education. A transcript review will be done by the music education department, to determine any deficiencies in any of these areas of study. Substitutions will be determined by the associate dean where appropriate.
