The MA for Licensure (MAL) program is for persons with an undergraduate degree in music (but not in music education) who wish to obtain a license to teach music in the public schools, while simultaneously pursuing the study of music education at the graduate level. Course requirements span 6 semesters and combine music education licensure courses (approximately 23 hours) and student teaching (12 hours) with graduate music and music education courses (30 hours). Graduates of the program are eligible to apply for an Ohio teacher license for Music P-12. Licensure may be transferred to other states. Students also will need to pass the Ohio Assessments for Educators exam and meet other state requirements for teacher licensure, such as passing a criminal background check. Program highlights include a supportive, collegial community of scholars that helps provide personalized attention to students, as well as practical experience gained by working alongside faculty who are internationally recognized as teachers, conductors, researchers, and authors. Graduate assistants work closely with faculty in the areas of research, teaching, and ensemble conducting. Accepted students receive funding for tuition waivers and graduate assistantships.
