Studio art majors may enroll in a program for certification to teach art in grades K-12. Studio art course requirements for certification must be taken in conjunction with or in addition to the studio art major requirements. The required art courses for certification include ART 200, 240, 250, and 585 and ARHI 100 and 102.
It is highly recommended that studio majors planning for certification consider additional courses that expand their knowledge base of media and process. Recommended courses: ART 220, 230, and 270.
Education requirements: EDST 180, 350, 440, and EDUC 430,
650, and 660.
Student teaching is usually done in a 13th term. For other general regulations governing students seeking certification to teach, see the Department of Education.
Students intending to complete the program in art certification should declare their intention to their advisor and the director of teacher education as early as possible, preferably before the end of the sophomore year.
