What to Expect

The perfect match for anyone who wants to teach art to K-12 students, our art education program provides most of South Carolina’s K-12 art teachers. As an art education major, you will learn the role of art in society, formulate and defend philosophy of art and become sophisticated consumers of art. The Art Education course is offered by University of South Carolina.

Since a broad knowledge of art is required of art educators, you will be exposed to studio art, art history, art criticism and aesthetics. You will gain valuable hands-on experience by teaching in elementary and secondary schools, while also having the opportunity to seek out research and service opportunities.
