Introduction

The combined degree program, administered by the Faculty of Fine Arts, leads to the BMus and BEd (Master of Teaching Program) degrees and requires the completion of a minimum of 25 full-course equivalents. Students pursuing this program will enter the Faculty of Fine Arts in year one and then apply to enter the combined degree program after the successful completion of at least five full-course equivalents. After successful completion of all fifteen full-course equivalents specified in the Music education component of the combined degree program, students will complete the two-year BEd (Master of Teaching program) which satisfies the present certification requirements of the Province of Alberta

The BMus (Music Education) program is a specialized three-year program, which exists only in combination with the BEd (Master of Teaching) program. It is designed for students intending to teach music (both instrumental and choral) in the schools and students have a choice of two streams - elementary or secondary. Besides the core areas of performance, theory, history and musicianship, the program provides course work in conducting, choral and instrumental techniques and appropriate pedagogy for different age groups.

Admission

Students must meet the regular requirements for admission to the Faculty of Fine Arts which for the Department of Music, includes an entrance audition. To be considered for admission to the combined degree program a minimum GPA of 2.5 is required over the last five full-course equivalents. Admission is competitive and meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. The deadline for application for admission to this program is April 1 of the academic year in which the student will have completed five full-course equivalents. All students must satisfy the Effective Writing Requirement. Registration in the Faculty of Education must occur within three years of being admitted into the combined degree program.

Students choosing to leave the combined degree program before completion of both degrees would be considered to have left the Faculty of Education and would revert to enrolment in the Faculty of Fine Arts with the option of finishing their degree in some other route.

Note: Enrolment in both the Faculty of Fine Arts and the Faculty of Education is limited by Faculty and program quotas.

Continuation to the BEd Master of Teaching Program component of the combined degree

Students must have completed the 15 FCE required for the initial Music portion of the program with a minimum GPA of 3.00 over the last 5 FCE taken. In March of the year that students intend to begin the BEd Master of Teaching Program component of the combined degree they will receive an admission package from the Faculty of Education. This package will include:

1. A form requesting a signature indicating that the student intends to complete the MT component of the combined degree program.

2. A Statement of Intent to be completed and returned to the Division of Teacher Preparation Office.

3. A Field Experience Placement form, to be completed and returned to the Division of Teacher Preparation Office.

Failure to provide the above documents by the specified time may result in denial of admission to the BEd Master of Teaching Program component of the combined degree.
