B.A.E. | M.A. | Graduate Certification Program
The Visual Art Education (VAE) program offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees for individuals interested in teaching art. Teaching opportunities exist in a number of settings, including public schools, arts agencies, art museums, senior centers, recreation centers and other venues. The VAE program offers preparation for providing educational services in these milieus.
The Bachelors of Art Education is a five-year course of study that leads to certification and is suited to individuals seeking employment in a public school setting. Students interested in non-traditional educational settings (art museums, arts centers, etc.) may elect to obtain the Bachelors of Art Education degree without certification.
The program consists of at least 30 semester hours of study, with at least one half of credits taken in courses open only to graduate students. The number of courses students will need to complete the degree is determined through a careful review of candidates' background and academic preparation. The degree specifies a thesis or project done under the direction of a faculty member. A master's candidate may elect one of two emphasis, either art museum education or traditional art education.

Certification in art education is available for students with an undergraduate degree from an accredited institution in art. Coursework mirrors that of undergraduates in the five-year program contingent upon the academic background of the individual. A faculty member in the area will determine applicants' qualifications. The certification track is designed to provide graduate credit applicable toward the Master's Degree in Art Education.
