Bachelor of Music Education (BME)
The BME degree (Bachelor of Music Education) adds to the liberal arts requirements (English, math, science, etc.) and the core curriculum in music an intensive and rigorous package of courses in education and in the methodologies of teaching and learning.
This degree leads to K-12 certification in music (choral, general, instrumental) and prepares you for careers teaching music in public or private elementary and secondary schools. One of the additional distinctions of the music education degree at UNL is its innovative attention to the teaching of music composition pedagogy and the exploration of vernacular music performance pedagogy (that is, learning to teach music composition and learning to teach pop/rock performance).
