Display of assessment data
The Department of Music currently has about 25 students
that are designated as B.M.Ed. students.
Most of these are incoming Freshmen and so there is no
data to present at this time. Also, it is not possible to
determine the data from students that recently changed
their major to the B.M. Ed.

Action plan for Student-Learning or Service
Outcomes
Because this is the first year of this degree the main focus for
maximum learning outcome will be to concentrate on excellent
advising. In cooperation with the Education department, a suggested
four-year enrollment plan has been devised.
Careful observation and advisement for the first couple of years is
critical. The plan is to have the advisement double-checked and
monitored much more extensively than normal.
As with all music students, access to the most up-to-date music
software is essential. Other materials and/or resources will include
instruments (and repairs), sheet music, and associated materials.
