K-12 Music Licensure: Post-Baccalaureate Program

Admission requirements for post-baccalaureate candidates seeking K-12 licensure include evidence of having a conferred Bachelor’s degree in the licensure subject area, and meeting the criteria for formal admission. Upon application to the Teacher Education Program, an official transcript from the accredited colleges where the candidate attended, including the one granting the baccalaureate degree, must be brought to the Teacher Application Center (West Classroom 136). The appropriate content area advisors will review the transcript for completed course work appropriate for the endorsement being sought. It may be necessary for a Post-Baccalaureate candidate to complete specified courses in the content area, in addition to the professional licensure sequence course work, as part of their approved teacher preparation program. Post-baccalaureate students should begin the licensure program by taking the first education courses in their licensure sequence and take the licensure content examination as soon as possible.

Post-baccalaureate students seeking K-12 licensure with a major other than music education may need to take additional courses to meet licensure content standards. Please meet with an advisor in the Music Department at your earliest opportunity to determine your requirements.
