Students who are accepted into the BA/MA Program in Teacher Education combined degree programs may take graduate courses while they are still completing their undergraduate course load. The requirements for the BA/MA TEP degree are the same as for the BA and MA-TEP degrees taken separately. BA/MA-TEP students do not receive their undergraduate degree until they complete the BA/MA-TEP program, so the BA/MA-TEP program is not advised for students who cannot attend full-time.
Students are admitted to this program only after they have completed at least 60 credits of college work, including at least 29 credits in music (three semesters of music history, four semesters of music theory, and four semesters of musicianship). At least 12 credits (including six in music) must have been taken at Hunter College, and students must have a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.5 with no grade of less than B in any music course. Thus the BA/MA-TEP degree is only for current Hunter students. They must have passed the Music Department’s piano proficiency examination and an audition-interview demonstrating reasonable mastery of an instrument or voice.
Students who are interested in applying to the BA/MA-TEP program should contact the Music Department Graduate Adviser.
