Teacher Certification K-12
The art education Teacher Certification program prepares undergraduate
and graduate students for licensure to teach art in grades K-12.
Because teaching, like art making, is informed by experience,
the art education area has established one of the nation's most
extensive pre-service teaching programs. Students conduct case
studies of individuals making and responding to art, observe
in art classrooms, teach in a Saturday children's workshop,
and participate in artist-in-residence programs in secondary
schools. M.A. and Ph.D. students in art education draw on resources
in American studies, anthropology, sociology, and the program
in literature, science, and the arts to prepare for positions
as teachers in museums, colleges or universities, or as art
administrators.
