Undergraduate

The primary mission of the undergraduate program is to prepare certified art teachers for public and private school services. A pre-art therapy option is offered in conjunction with certification. Students have the oppertunity to participate in the University's Florence, London, or other international programs as part of thier course of studies. Extensive in-school observation and participation are required.

The undergraduate certification program is based on the theoretical position of comprehensive art education. This means that the program stems from the content and inquiry structure of mature practicing professionals in studio art, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics, and is adapted to developmental stages, cognitive styles, and special and individual needs of students.

Art education courses are offered once per year and are sequenced over a two-year period. Studnents are requried to maintain a portfolio of teaching materials as designated in thier coursework and are expected to go through a first-year and fianl review. The Department of Art Education offers programs leading to the bachelor of science(BS), bachelor of arts(BA), master of arts(MA) degrees with certification.
