ACM Master in Music Education
Questions and Answers

How long does it take to graduate from the Master in Music Ed program?

ACM’s Master in Music Education can be completed in 14 months, including 5, 10-week quarter sessions consisting of at least two classes per quarter (see MME Course of Study for details). The program is designed to give ample time for busy music educators to pursue their careers and, at the same time, obtain academic advancement.

Does ACM accept course credits from other institutions?

Coursework taken at another accredited college will be considered if an equivalent course at the American College of Music (ACM) is required for the Masters in Music Education (MME). The grade on a course already completed elsewhere must be a minimum grade of “B- (80%).” Students must request a transfer credit evaluation from the Office of the Registrar before or during the first quarter of attendance at ACM. No more than 6 graduate semester units or 9 quarter units awarded by another institution may be transferred for credit towards the Masters in Music Education. (See school catalog for details)

Is there financial aid available?

Although ACM does not offer Title IV-federally funded secure loans through the US Department of Education. However, ACM does offer scholarship and payment programs with exceptionally low-interest rates. ACM believes that a graduate degree should not entail extended, life-long debt. See ACM Finance Options.

We’ve been there and developed a hands-on, research-based curriculum that will let you become a more effective clinician, communicator, and music educator. We facilitate success!

Does ACM Online Masters in Music Education have any residency requirements?

No. Unlike other online programs, ACM Online Masters in Music Education (MME) does not have residency requirements, saving extra student travel and housing expenses.

Is there any out-of-state tuition charges?
