ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The application process for the university consists on an online application which can be found at https://www.uwsp.edu/admissions/Pages/ applying/grad-school.aspx. Application for admission to the Music Education Graduate Program will require verification of your certification, a review of transcripts, an interview with the program coordinator, and a letter of reference from a current or former administrator, mentor teacher, professor, or employer. For any questions about admission to the program, please contact the music department at music@uwsp.edu. It typically takes four weeks to receive an admission decision after all materials are submitted to the Admissions office. Then, you should complete an program application specifically for the MME. Although it is not a requirement, it is in your best interest to send materials at least two months before you wish to register for classes. Students with international transcripts and all international students should contact the program coordinator for graduate study in music education, Dr. Rachel Brashier at Rachel.Brashier@uwsp.edu, to inquire about additional documentation that may be required. You will be contacted after all items are received for an intake interview. ADVISING
After you apply for admission to the MME, you will receive a letter from the Graduate School indicating whether or not you have been admitted as well as any conditions of admission that must be satisfied. You should then contact the music department graduate advisor Dr. Rachel Brashier at Rachel.Brashier@uwsp.edu. The graduate advisor will meet with you for the next stage of planning, your individual advising appointment. During your appointment, your advisor will review your program requirements, provide you with your Program Handbook, discuss your interests and aspirations, and complete your Program of Study. Your Program
of Study is your “plan of action,” listing courses you will take to complete your master’s degree. During your graduate program, you should meet with your advisor regularly and as necessary to complete your program and to plan for your culminating experience, the research project and thesis. Not every class is offered each term. Your advisor will know what courses will be offered in the near future and can help you plan ahead.
