Music Education

The Division of Music is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Music, the only nationally recognized accrediting agency for professional music instruction. All programs comply with the objectives and guidelines required by this organization.

Prospective graduate students in music are required to have completed the appropriate curriculum of undergraduate study in music at WVU or its equivalent at another institution of recognized standing. For acceptance into a degree program the applicant should make inquiry to the Director of Graduate Studies, Division of Music, P.O. Box 6111, Morgantown, WV 26506-6111.

Applicants accepted for degree study must take diagnostic tests in music theory, music history, and a piano proficiency. Music education students take a voice exam to determine proficiency. Students entering the M.M. in Performance meet with their major professors to assess weakness in pedagogy and literature. The results of these tests and meetings may indicate the need for remedial study, which must be completed before admission to candidacy.
