Students seeking teaching licensure must follow eligibility criteria for admission and retention listed in the Cannon-Clary College of Education section of the undergraduate catalog.
The Arkansas Department of Education issues licensure in Instrumental Music Education and Vocal Music Education. However, the same PRAXIS test is used for both areas. Consequently, an Instrumental Music Education major who passes the PRAXIS exam may also apply for vocal certification. For a MEIN major who wishes to also teach choral music, we recommend, as a minimum, these additional courses: 6 hours of voice/vocal pedagogy and two additional semesters in a choral ensemble.
Remaining Bible/Electives: 4 Hours
BMIN 3000 is required of all music majors, and satisfies the Bible requirement in the semester it is taken.
Bible is not required during the supervised teaching semester.
See Bible Class Enrollment policy here .
Note(s):
In addition to earning a degree in Music Education, Instrumental, an endorsement in vocal /choral may be earned. Consult with the department chair for additional information.
