Master of Arts in Music Education
The Music Department at the University of Hawaii-Manoa offers the Master of Arts-Music Education degree, which is intended for those individuals who have attained a B.Ed or comparable degree and are currently teaching in the public or private school. The Online Master of Arts in Education is also offered for those whose circumstances preclude the more traditional campus residency route.
The online Masters degree in Music Education normally receives more applications than it can accommodate, making the selection process competitive. In this regard, please be aware that acceptance into the program is neither automatic nor guaranteed. A call for out of state applicants will be issued once a year in the Spring semester for programs beginning in the Fall of 2008. Hawaii residents or on-campus students may apply any semester.
