The Degree meets the requirements for a bachelor’s degree from a music
department at a university provided you take four semesters of applied music
instruction and make satisfactory progress in either voice or a major instrument.
Since program requirements differ between universities, the official
transfer guide of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving EAC should
be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs.
To successfully pursue a college career in music education, you must be able
to play at least one instrument well; have some experience and/or training in
voice; and possess knowledge of music theory. You must also possess or obtain
adequate piano skills.
