Music Education Degree With K-12 Teaching Licensure
Classes offered in the Elementary Education Division are taught by experienced educators who are currently in the field. The individual attention from faculty and advisors provides a strong mentorship environment for you, ensuring you will graduate on time in the music education degree.
Students wanting to get a K-12 teaching licensure in music must go through the Music Program.
You will gain the “real world,” hands-on experience with opportunities to be in the classroom as early as Spring of your Freshman year. With more student teaching and practica hours than required, Iowa Wesleyan provides great networking connections for increased employment opportunities upon graduation.
Students involved in our program will:
- Develop the knowledge and skills to be successful
- Cultivate a knowledge base suitable for admittance into graduate study programs
- Expand global cultural awareness through levels of engagement
Students who complete the Music Education Degree will be able to apply for a K-12 Music teaching license with the Iowa Board of Educational Examiners. After successful completion of all coursework, student teaching, and two state-required tests, the license holder will be able to teach all areas of Elementary. After the Music Education degree and licensure, you will also be able to teach middle school and high school music in the state of Iowa.
