The Music Masters program at EKU is designed to be flexible. Students can pursue a traditional in-person path in conducting and performance, a 100% online, asynchronous path education degree for in-service teachers, or a flexible hybrid performance or conducting path to further your skills while still teaching. Contact us to find the path for you!

The Masters of Music Education is designed for in-service educators to achieve deeper and new knowledge into the pedagogy, philosophy, and application of music teaching. This degree leads to rank change and pay increase, but is not designed for initial licensure (see the Masters of Arts in Teaching degree).
