Music Education

To transfer as a junior into a baccalaureate program with a major in Music Education, students should select one of the two options described below in consultation with a music department advisor.  Completion of the AFA degree does not fulfill the requirements of the Illinois General Education Core Curriculum, nor does it fulfill the AA/AS degree.

 

Transfer programs provide an opportunity for students to complete the first two years of study leading to a baccalaureate degree.  The third and fourth years of study will be completed at a four-year college or university to which the student transfers after the completion of his or her program at Shawnee Community College.

Because four-year colleges vary in their requirements, students should determine specific course requirements by consulting with their faculty adviser or a college counselor as soon as possible after admission to the college.
