Arts Education

Transforming students into critical observers of the world.

Whether you’re interested in promoting community arts programs or helping young artists hone their skills, a degree in the arts education program can be customized to fit your particular interests.

You’ll also get hands-on experience incorporating emerging technologies in art education and gain a cross-cultural perspective in evaluating art.

Our programs are open to practicing art teachers, museum educators, and new professionals coming to art education from related careers. Here, you’ll work with nationally recognized scholars in art education while enjoying access to one of the nation’s most comprehensive campus art museums.

With your degree, you’ll find career opportunities in K-12 art education, as a university or college educator, or as a museum or arts organization professional.
