Southeastern’s Church Music Certificate is a 21-hour program of study for those who serve in local churches in the areas of music and worship and who have not obtained an undergraduate music degree.
As of Nov. 1, 2013, Southeastern will be accepting no new students into this program. All current students who wish to complete their program will be allowed to do so. Southeastern will offer a 2-3 year teach-out program to provide all the courses students need to finish their degree.
This program combines online, on-campus, and hybrid courses to develop musical skills and teach theological and practical content related to music in the church. The program is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate the schedule of working students as well as those with family responsibilities. Courses from the program can transfer into the Bachelor of Arts in Christian Studies and Music Major or Music Minor undergraduate degree programs at The College at Southeastern.
There are no prerequisites for admission to the Church Music Certificate program. However, incoming students may be asked to take a placement test in music theory.
