Courses are also designed to serve as part of the General Education requirement for students preparing to teach in fields other than Art. The graduate program in Art Education is designed primarily to meet the needs of experienced art educators who have completed an undergraduate program in the field. The program is available for elementary and secondary education teachers who wish to seek additional State Certification, as well as for students with a non-teaching undergraduate art-related degree from an accredited institution. These students may work towards the M.S. degree while they prepare to meet certification requirements in Art Education. Program The Art Department offers its Art Education Master’s program with a wide range of visual arts specializations or concentrations. Both concepts and technical excellence are stressed. High quality resources are provided: equipment; a faculty of practicing artists, designers, and art educators; and a location convenient to major museums and numerous galleries. After completing 15 credits of courses, the student must apply for Degree Candidacy. The student must present a resume, statement of purpose, portfolio of at least five pieces and two letters of recommendation to a committee of the adviser and two other faculty members selected by the student and approved by the adviser. After 27 credits, the student must undergo a final review, including committee approval of the thesis (Plan A) or exhibition/special project (Plan C). The comprehensive exam option (Plan B) is not available. Please follow the directions on page 12 concerning the planned program.
