<p>Hi everyone,
I have a few questions about Music Education. On the Oberlin website, it says that they offer an undergraduate major in music ed. When I look around the website, however, I cannot find anything about the program. I can find a master's degree program, but nothing for undergraduates. Can anyone explain this to me? I am very confused.</p>
<p>The college has a major in musical studies. From the website:</p>
<p>"The Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Musical Studies is an integral part of the liberal arts program of the College of Arts. The Musical Studies major is designed for Arts & Sciences students with serious preparation for and interest in the study of music within a liberal arts context. The major emphasizes critical thinking, writing, and communications skills grounded in practical musical experience. Students in the major build musical foundations in applied study, musicianship skills, and music history, and continue more advanced work in the major with a selection of courses chosen to contextualize their consideration of music. "</p>
<p>Here’s a link to the program:

<p>Our sleeping dragon may also have stumbled across some old information. A few years back, there was an undergrad Music Ed program at Oberlin. Now, the program is entirely at the Master’s level. There was an interim period in which the existing undergrads were allowed to finish their degrees but no new students were being accepted at the undergraduate level, and that ended not too long ago. Hence, there may be some outdated links still hanging around the website.</p>
<p>BassDad is right, we no longer offer an undergraduate major in music education. Draco, if you send me a link to where you found mention of such on the website, I can contact the right people and make sure the site gets updated.</p>
