OVERVIEW This handbook supplements the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point graduate catalog, which is the official policy document of the UWSP Master of Music Education Graduate Program, see https://catalog.uwsp.edu/index.php. Other valuable information about graduate study at UWSP can be found on the Graduate School site at https://www.uwsp.edu/admissions/Pages/applying/ grad-school.aspx. The Master of Music Education (MME) is a graduate degree program developed for persons who have a degree in the field or a closely aligned field and are currently certified music teachers in any state. A program of study requiring the appropriate additional undergraduate classes can be developed for someone who does not have the requisite degree or certification by consultation with the music department graduate advisor. Note: current international students who are music teachers outside of the United States do not require state certification. • Your study will culminate in a thesis of your own independent research on a topic of interest to you which will be published in an open source format through the UW library system.
