Description
This program is designed to enable a student, through carefully planned coursework, to earn any BFA in the Schools of Art, Film, or Design with a minor in Art Education in four years and a Master of Arts in Teaching Visual Arts in one additional year. The MAT is a professional degree program that incorporates preparation for the Pennsylvania Instructional I Certificate, including a 14 week student teaching practicum. The program offered by the department of Art & Design Education is designed to permit a student majoring in an art or design field to use their undergraduate years as a key step toward certification (licensure) as a PK-12 Art or Design teacher. The University awards the degree and the Pennsylvania Department of Education awards the teaching certificate on successful completion of praxis exams.
