*The ensemble for vocal music education majors is Ad Astra Women’s Chorus, Men’s Chorus, and Chamber Singers, University Singers, or additional choral ensemble designated as a major ensemble in the printed Class Schedule. Course work must be completed in both physical and biological science areas. The music education major should apply for formal admission to the teacher education program during the third semester. A minimum of 24 credits must be completed for admission. The student may not enroll in Senior Recital until the appropriate applied level has been achieved. The student may not enroll in Student Teaching until the piano proficiency examination has been passed. The B.M.Ed. vocal track requires 139 hours per the State of Oklahoma teaching certification requirements. Teacher certification programs are developed in accordance with Oklahoma State laws and, therefore, are subject to change.

All other degree requirements, including the Senior Recital, must be completed prior to student teaching. Students are encouraged to join the Music Educators National
