Bachelor of Science in Music Education

Duquesne University

Our curriculum emphasizes musicianship across PreK–12 public and private schools, both in classroom and rehearsal settings, enabling you to teach anywhere in the United States. In addition to your studies, you will maintain the highest standards in the areas of musicianship, pedagogy, and professionalism and work consistently with an extensive network of cooperating teachers in public school music settings (band, choir, orchestra, and general music) for field experiences that begin during the very first semester of the freshman year. While mastering pedagogical technique, you will remain active as performers in a wide range of ensembles, as well as through applied lessons with our GRAMMY Award-winning Music Performance faculty. A dual degree option is available to Music Education majors who would also like a degree in Music Performance.
