MMEd Music Education

The University of North Texas has one of the most highly acclaimed music education programs in the United States. Our Master of Music Education degree provides students with the teaching, administrative and leadership skills needed for success in a variety of educational settings.

In the Division of Music Education at the University of North Texas, we're dedicated to developing strong leaders in music education.

You can select either a teaching emphasis or a research emphasis. The teaching emphasis is for school music teachers wanting to advance their knowledge in the practice and theory of music instruction. The research emphasis is recommended for those who might want to teach music in higher education or pursue a Ph.D. at a later time. Both tracks require passing a comprehensive exam consisting of a thesis or the defense of a project practicum, depending on the track.
