The program goes hand-in-hand with our education major and prepares students to teach art in grades 5-12. Students will develop their creative and imaginative skills, while also learning to hone in on the needs of people, making them perfect candidates to teach. 

Our curriculum offers students an opportunity to experience real-world situations and is of great value in helping them make realistic choices about their future professional life. Graduates become art educators that share and lead in developing a better and more meaningful society.
