Major: Music Education (This Major's Salary over time)
This university is a joke. No focus is given to Master's students in a teaching capacity - you live in the shadow of your supervising professor. Half of the classes that you would need in order to pass Doctoral entrance exams (music theory and music history) ARE NOT part of the curriculum! Performance opportunities are given to the undergraduates. The only redeeming factor is the pay - if you are the only one in your area, expect to receive full tuition and a pretty large stipend on top of that.
