Music Education
Overview
Take your music education career to the next level without taking time off from teaching through the Gordon College's graduate programs in music education. This unique summer-only hybrid program combines online and on-campus coursework with peer-led music lab ensembles that will improve both your musicianship and teaching skills.
All summer Master of Music Education courses are hybrid—combining asynchronous online learning with 5 weeks on campus in person in classrooms, lab ensemble settings, and discipline-specific elective workshops.
During the week of July 14–18, 2025, major classes suspend for a week of optional professional development workshops, designed to provide a variety of elective credit opportunities for degree-seeking students and professional development opportunities for all music educators at any stage in their professional careers.
