The B.S.Ed. program in art education prepares highly qualified art teachers who possess the knowledge, skills, and dispositions necessary to promote high levels of learning for P-12 students. In art studio courses, general education courses, art education courses, and various field experiences, candidates have multiple opportunities to demonstrate excellence in teaching, scholarship, and professionalism. Significant features of the program include:
  •  
    		•  54 semester hours of art history and studio taught by faculty in the Art Department that give breadth as well as depth and provide experiences in both fine and applied art;
  •  
    		•  ten semester hours of general education courses and six semester hours of art education courses (three hours in elementary art methods and 3 hours in middle and high school methods) that include field experience components;
  •  
    		•  carefully sequenced and diverse pre-student teaching field experiences that offer candidates a realistic environment for developing and refining knowledge, skills, dispositions, and performances derived from INTASC principles prior to student teaching;
  •  
    		•  emphasis on technology in general education, in art courses, and in professional education courses;
  •  
    		•  courses in classroom management and integration of technology in conjunction with student teaching.
       





    The goals of the M.Ed. program in Art Education reflect the belief that candidates should display proficiency before they enter advanced study and should develop and demonstrate expertise as they complete their programs. For this reason, program goals are similar for candidates in initial and advanced programs, with the difference lying in the expected level of performance.

    The M.Ed. Program in Art Education requires a professional core (7 credits), a studio/art education concentration core (23 credits), general education electives (6 credits), and a thesis/exhibition. Individual needs and interests are addressed through the opportunity to
    select courses from a variety of studio offerings.
