Additional Undergraduate Requirements and Programs

Writing-Intensive Requirement

The university requires all students to complete at least one course designated "writing intensive" in their majors at the 300 level or above. Students majoring in music may fulfill this requirement by successfully completing one of the following: MUSI 331, 332, 431, or 432. Students who transfer all of these courses into George Mason may be required to repeat one of them or to enroll in some other suitable course in order to fulfill the writing intensive requirement.

Teacher Licensure (Certification)

Undergraduate students seeking licensure (certification) to teach vocal/choral or instrumental music on the elementary and secondary levels must earn the Bachelor of Music degree as specified under Concentration in Music Education. Students who have earned a baccalaureate degree and who are seeking state licensure (certification) to teach music must also complete this sequence of courses, which constitute a state-approved program for teacher education in music.
