No separate music application portal was found.

Important Notes

The 2025–26 catalog names this track Vocal; KWU's program page describes it as the vocal emphasis.

The degree leads to PreK-12 music teaching licensure in Kansas and is offered with the KWU Teacher Education program.

Continuing in the licensure track requires admission to the KWU Teacher Education program after enrollment.

Admitted students complete a music theory and aural-skills placement diagnostic at orientation — for course placement only, not admission.
