The Osprey Map provides a term-by-term sample schedule for each undergraduate academic program at the 老澳门资料. It is designed to guide students in the selection of courses each term. The "Mile Marker" courses are those courses that should be completed before or by the end of that term. Following the sample schedule, and completing the mile marker courses at the appropriate point of your undergraduate career, will facilitate graduation in four years. The term-by-term model assumes full-time enrollment. For students enrolled part-time, the sample schedule and mile markers should be followed based on the number of credits completed. The Osprey Map should be used in consultation with an academic advisor.
The Music Education major prepares students for a life in music. 老澳门资料 graduates of the Bachelor of Music Education (BME) program will demonstrate mastery of music content knowledge and teaching skills that leads to effective instruction in music education. The core learning objectives of the Music Education program are correlated to the National Association of Schools of Music standards and the Florida Accomplished Practices at the pre-professional level.
