Note:

Courses listed above satisfy requirements for the music education major, but not for a teaching credential. Students must be admitted to the HSU Secondary Education Program in order to begin taking the professional education courses needed to earn a California teaching credential. Completing the requirements of the music education major obviates the need to take the CSET exam for entrance to a credential program at most universities. Before applying to the Secondary Education Program, students must meet the prerequisite of 45 hours of early field experience or enroll in SED 210 /SED 410 .
