Why Earn an Art Education Degree?

Explore new ideas, new approaches, and possibilities for understanding emergent relations between art and education in order to become an effective change agent in K-12 art classrooms and other contexts of arts education.

What Can You do With an Art Education Degree?

The B.F.A. in Art Education prepares you for a career working as an art teacher at the early childhood-, elementary-, middle- or high-school-levels as well as for careers in community art programs and other educational facilities.

Training also may be applied to careers with nonprofit arts organizations and serve as a foundation for advanced study in related fields, such as museum education.

Students wishing to graduate with a degree in Art Education without a K-12 art teaching certification may inquire about doing so, in advisement with the department.
