Throughout the Music Education from North Central College even with new licensure and teaching requirements, it is still possible to complete your music teacher education bachelor's degree within a four-year time frame (comparable programs require five).
As a music education major, you’ll also enjoy more face time teaching music in front of students—at least 180 field-experience hours—than typically required. Why?

Graduates of North Central’s music education program have enjoyed a nearly 100 percent job placement rate in the past several years.
As prospective music teachers, you will graduate having developed and mastered the skill-levels needed to enter the workforce. From building relationships with schools in the local Chicago area, to maturing your music performance and style. Earning a music education degree can allow you to have various rewarding jobs! From working in special education programs employing the use of music therapy, to teaching young aspiring musicians in high school.
