Springfield, Mo.— Evangel University’s Department of Music recently received word that the National Association of Schools of Music will extend its accreditation of Evangel’s Music degree programs for an additional 10 years.
Evangel has been an accredited member of NASM since 1970.
John Shows, chairman of Evangel’s Department of Music, reports that the NASM Commission on Accreditation, at its June 2006 meetings, voted to continue Evangel in good standing to offer the following degrees: Bachelor of Arts in Music, Bachelor of Music in Performance, Bachelor of Music in Church Music, and Bachelor of Music in Music Education.
Shows said, “This action was taken after the submission of an institutional self-study document in January, an onsite visit by an NASM team in February, and the official review of all documents by the Commission on Accreditation in June.”
The next full review of Evangel’s Department of Music by NASM will take place in the 2015-2016 academic year.
