The Art Education program is offered at the undergraduate level and prepares students to teach elementary (pre-K through fifth grade), middle school (sixth through eighth grade), and high school (ninth through twelfth grade) art classes. Students in art education complete an art major, the required professional education courses, three school practicum placements, and two eight-week blocks of student teaching. The art education program provides strong content preparation for teaching comprehensive and sequential art lessons including: art production, art history, art criticism, aesthetics and visual culture. Students seeking licensure are encouraged to consult regularly with the art education program coordinators.
