If you're interested in teaching art or music, it's probably because the arts were such an enormous part of your life. Now, you have the chance to share the joy of creating and performing with other children and young adults.

Our art or music education degree program has three concentrations: art education, instrumental music education, and vocal music education — all for grades K-12.

The art education concentration is a professional degree program, offered in conjunction with the College of Arts, offering you a major in art education that leads to teaching certification in art. 

The program prepares you to be a reflective, competent, socially responsive educator and will provide you with informed, authentic, and meaningful experiences in visual arts. The art education concentration works from the premise that making art and teaching art are both creative acts that demand personal investment, an unquenchable desire to learn, knowledge of your discipline, and an ongoing development of individual and communal art making endeavors that spark imagination and illuminate possibility for you and others.
