Master of Arts in Art Education

   The Master of Arts degree program in art education is designed for certified art teachers who wish to continue their professional/educational development. The program provides opportunities for current art teachers to improve skills in studio art, research in art education and K-12 art education methodology.

   The 36 semester-hour program combines courses in art education, art content (studio, history, criticism and aesthetics) and educational foundations and psychology.  Based on these courses it allows teachers to pursue studio or research projects of personal concern.    

   During the first semester of study, but no later than the completion of 12 graduate hours toward the program, students must select either the applied studio or research options consistent with individual professional goals.
