School of Music Policy for Determining Qualified Faculty through Tested Experience Approved 3/9/2023
CPVA Introduction
In accordance with HLC, UNC Board Policy, and School accrediting bodies, CPVA uses credentials as the primary basis for determining faculty qualifications. In the case that individual programs may deem it necessary and appropriate to use tested experience in determining minimally qualified faculty, CPVA will follow the process developed by each School. Tested experience is defined as experience "the institution determines is equivalent to the degree it would otherwise require for a faculty position" (HLC, 2016, p. 4).

Credentialing / School of Music
Minimum Qualifications: 

All faculty in the School of Music, whether full-time or adjunct must have either
1. an earned Master of Music, Master of Music Education, Master of Fine Arts, or equivalent music-related degree, or                      2. tested experience equivalent to a Master's level degree.

Those faculty who teach graduate-level lessons or classes must have either
1. a terminal degree in the appropriate field, or 
2. tested experience equivalent to a Master's (if no Master's is earned) AND tested  experience equivalent to a terminal degree as outlined below.
Terminal Degree: SOM recognizes the following degrees as appropriate terminal degrees for music faculty: DMA, DM, DA in Music, PhD in Music, Ed.D. 
Tested Experience: In some cases, tested experience (a significant record of professional achievement and experience) may be considered as a significant credential in lieu of an earned graduate degree. Per HLC policy "Tested experience may substitute for an earned credential or portions thereof. Assumed Practice B.2. allows an institution to determine that a faculty member is qualified based on experience that the institution determines is equivalent to the degree it would otherwise require for a faculty position. This experience should be tested experience in that it includes a breadth and depth of experience outside of the classroom in real-world situations relevant to the discipline in which the faculty member would be teaching."
Faculty without an appropriate Master's degree as defined above must meet the criteria for tested experience as listed below. To meet tested experience for the Master's degree, faculty must have fulfilled the criteria within the last 10 years:
