Introduction
The Art Education program provides students with experience in liberal studies, art history, studio art and professional education. It is a Bachelor of Science degree program that prepares students for certification by the Department of Public Instruction for teaching art in elementary and secondary schools. An understanding of general studies, art history, the present status of art and the educational environment, with an inquisitive approach toward problem solving, will move students to a professional level. Experienced art and design faculty ensure current course content and serve as advisers for students. Pre-teaching observation, presented at the sophomore level, provides students with an early involvement in elementary and secondary schools. A required mid-program review offers students an overview of their progress. Extensive library resources and the art and design department visual resource center are significant assets. Foreign study opportunities allow students variety in cultural experiences. An optional 11 credit additional concentration in Adaptive Education is available.
