CHORAL MUSIC CONCENTRATION

The Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in Performing Arts degree offers three concentrations: choral music, theatre and dance. Applications for the Choral Music concentration are currently being accepted. The Theatre concentration is scheduled to begin in Summer 2009, followed by the Dance concentration.

Offered jointly by the School of the Arts and the School of Education, Health, and Human Performance, the M.A.T. in Performing Arts is available to college graduates who do not have a background or major in education. Specialty coursework required for degree completion in each concentration relates directly to the requirements of the State Department of Education for teacher certification as well as the respective specialty professional association and the national accrediting body, the National Association for the Accreditation of Teacher Education.

Successful completion of this graduate-level degree leads to recommendation for teacher certification at the master level in South Carolina in General Music and/or Choral music P-12 classrooms.
