At Illinois, students work closely with faculty, themselves accomplished scholars and artists, whose interests reflect the textured vitality of contemporary concerns in Art Education. Faculty work with other faculty members across the School of Art + Design to offer a vibrant pre-professional curriculum. This interdisciplinary curriculum allows students to engage in studio practices, art history and theory, and design.

The question for us is not whether you want to teach art as your occupation. For us, the REAL question is, do you want to be an art educator throughout your life?
