Music education majors follow a course of study in one of two areas: band/orchestra or elementary music/choral. This degree, which includes certification by the South Carolina Department of Education, involves course work in both the Music and Education Departments, and an extended supervised teaching internship. This degree typically leads to a career in PreK-12 music education following graduation, though many students continue their training by going directly into graduate study. This degree is accredited by the National Association of State Directors of Teacher Education Colleges.
