Research in Music Education

2 Credits.

This core graduate course prepares students to design and present an original thesis proposal in music education. Students learn to identify researchable topics, engage with relevant literature, and develop a clear methodological framework. Through weekly assignments, annotated bibliography development, and a final multimodal presentation, students gain essential skills in independent inquiry and proposal writing. The course culminates in a thesis proposal package that can be shared with potential committee members for feedback and future development.
