Best For
Students who are set on teaching in a traditional school setting (i.e. public, private, charter, etc.); students interested in teaching in alternative settings (i.e. museums, community center, etc.).
Requirements
Students must complete all Art Major requirements with a Concentration in Teaching Art. In addition, when they have completed around 80 credits, they should apply to the School of Education for a Minor in Art Education (this is a formal application process including letters of recommendation, an entrance test, an essay, and an interview).
Additional Notes
– The only way a student can be certified via the state is if they have a Minor in Art Education through the School of Education.
– Students must submit a formal application to the School of Education available from the Art Education Office or from the School of Education’s Office of Student Services in NAC 3/223.
– This option includes student teaching and therefore may take longer than 4 years to complete.
– The School of Education requires students to have a GPA of above 2.7.
