Admission

Master of Music Education Admissions—Simple Steps

Congratulations on your interest in pursuing a Masters of Music Education degree at Gordon. Here are some simple steps to get you started with the application process:

1. The Application for Admission with a complete list of requirements can be found on the right hand side of this page under "Downloads." This electronic application is designed so applicants can type data directly into the required fields. You may also choose to print and complete by hand.

Applications and all supporting materials should be mailed to:

MASTER OF MUSIC EDUCATION
Gordon College
255 Grapevine Road
Wenham, MA 01984

We do not require all supporting materials to be mailed in one envelope. We encourage you to mail materials separately as soon as they are available.

2. A 15–20 minute video demonstration of your teaching is required for admission. Video recordings may be submitted online via Acceptd, an online platform used by hundreds of colleges, universities, and performing arts organizations, for the submission of digital audition recordings.

Please review the video recording submission guidelines in the downloads section on the right hand side of this page. When you are ready to submit your recording, you may visit Gordon College's Acceptd page by clicking the icon below:

Minimum Requirements To Consider:

• Initial license in music (for those who wish to pursue professional licensure from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts)
• Undergrad degree in music education (2.85 GPA)
• At least one year of teaching experience

Your acceptance to the program will be determined following a careful review of your application materials. You are encouraged to attend one of our information sessions or to arrange an informal interview with Dr. Sandra Doneski, Director of Graduate Music Education, who will advise and support you as you work to realize your professional goals. Please contact Kristen Harrington, Program Coordinator, to arrange for an appointment.

If you do not meet the minimum requirements for admission or your admissions materials are incomplete, you may be granted provisional status and take up to nine (9) hours of courses. After completing no more than nine (9) hours, you are expected to have matriculated by meeting all of the admissions requirements.

2013 TIMELINE

Looking to take a course or workshop for professional development only?

You do not need to be enrolled in the Masters of Music Education degree program to take advantage of a Gordon College music education. We welcome all music educators who wish to acquire new skills and perspectives. Individual graduate courses and workshops can be taken for graduate credit, PDPs, or audited for professional development.
