Graduate Degrees
Master of Music Education
(Available at the Milledgeville Campus)
MISSION
The mission of the Master of Music Education, as guided by the Department of Music at Georgia College, is to provide a full liberal arts education through a competency based academic and artistic curriculum. At the same time, the Department offers a wide range of opportunities to master the principles, skills and techniques necessary to be successful as practitioners and teachers in the performing arts. The Master of Music Education degree will not only allow students to continue to develop as musicians but also to expand and extend the study of the musical development of children and adolescents at an advanced level. The continuing education beyond the bachelor's level will give in-teachers and pre-service teachers the tools to add a dimension to student's lives found only through the arts.
