Description Contents Requirements

We immerse artists in interdisciplinary arts practice, introduce innovative teaching approaches and classroom art projects, and cultivate the rich connections young people can build across the arts, across other disciplines and across the lifespan. In partnership with the Educational Theatre, Storytelling and the Arts program, the Art Education M.A. focuses on inclusive learning through the arts. Successful program completion prepares artists to become creative art teachers and leads to eligibility for New York State teaching certification. This Art Education M.A. program is a low-residency program and may be taken either in weekend blended or online format.
