Non-Degree Courses
Non-Degree Courses
Most graduate music education courses at St. Thomas are open to students who have not been admitted to the Master of Arts in Music Education (MAME) program. The non-degree enrollment option is designed for students who want to try graduate coursework before enrolling in the master's program or for students interested in educational study leading to academic credit and a university transcript. Up to six credits may be applied toward the M.A. degree, provided that the coursework is applicable to one of the degree concentrations.
