Licensure- only students at Gordon College are welcome to participate in our Summer Workshops for professional development purposes, or to accumulate graduate credit. In some cases the Program Director will strongly encourage participation based on a need to build foundation in music theory, and other subject matter knowledge requirements set forth by the MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

The Post-Baccalaureate Initial License in Music and 12-Credit Option for Professional License Programs at Gordon College underwent a recent detailed approval process as part of a required re-accreditation visit from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education this past April, 2011.
