Graduate & Professional Studies (GPS) provide a unique opportunity for educators to develop, refine, or advance their skills in an arts-infused environment. GPS Programs support pre-service, K-12, and museum and externally-based educators by offering matriculated degree, certificate and teacher certification programs as well as non-matriculated graduate coursework for professional development that meet PA Act 48, New Jersey and New York state professional development requirements. Faculty is composed of passionate, experienced, and practicing professionals dedicated to the design and development of relevant, rewarding, and career directed educational experiences for educators across numerous artistic disciplines and all experience levels, both nationally and abroad.
