Music Teacher Education - BA/MA

Exceptionally qualified undergraduate students may obtain a master’s degree in teacher education in 5-6 years with a minimum of 140 credits. Requirements are the same as those for the 42-credit BA plus those for the MA in teacher education (45 credits at the graduate level). Matriculation is open to undergraduates with at least 60 credits who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better and a major subject index of at least 3.0. Students must have completed at least 24 credits of course work in music, including at least two semesters of music history, four semesters of music theory, and four semesters of musicianship (sight singing, ear training, and keyboard studies). At least 12 credits, including at least 6 credits in music major courses, must have been taken at Hunter College. Students must have passed the music department’s piano proficiency examination, and they must demonstrate reasonable mastery on an instrument (which may be a keyboard instrument) or voice. They must be admitted to the program by both the music department and the School of Education. They must maintain the grade point averages required for admission at all times in order to remain in the program; see
