Bachelor of Science - Art Education

The art education major combines the art major with education courses and student teaching experiences in art. This course of study provides art education graduates with the real experience of a creative artist, which is transferred to young students in the classroom.

The Art Program provides students with the opportunity to study and experiment in the visual arts, while preparing for a professional career teaching art at the elementary or K-12 level. Art faculty concentrate on developing the individual student’s creative interests and directions. Education faculty focus on developing the student’s ability to teach effectively and transfer their artistic abilities and experiences to their students.

Students work closely with professors in a tutorial approach to learning. Relatively small studio classes help provide individual discussion and attention. Professors’ studios are on campus so students observe them working on their projects and meet with them when they have questions outside of class and lab.
