Community Arts Education

The Community Visual Arts Education Minor is designed for undergraduates to enhance their qualifications as they seek employment in recreation centers, community arts centers, museums, after school, adult or early child care settings, continuing education, therapeutic or remedial settings, or a very wide range of other community-based sites in which participants may experience and learn about the arts.

The selection of courses in the minor will introduce theory, issues, and pedagogical strategies related to arts education for children, youth, and adult learners. In addition, the courses provide numerous opportunities to learn in context through field and practical experiences. A grade of “C” or higher in each course and a minimum 2.0 GPA in the minor is required.
