Art Education at Minot State is a meaningful and rewarding experience, during which the student builds confidence with design, technique, concept, and aesthetic criticism to develop a rigorous teaching practice. Candidates accepted into the BSEd program are expected to adhere to a high standard of excellence and demonstrate significant artistic growth.

The MSU Art Department is small enough to foster strong student/instructor mentoring and large enough to attract quality professors who are engaged in outstanding research. The Art Education program prepares students to be competent, employable teachers as well as skilled artists. In the last five years (2011 – 2015), 100% of the Art BSEd graduates have been employed as teachers.
