A 144 hours program resulting in a Bachelor of Fine Art degree in Studio Art with K-12 teacher certification in Art Education.

Art Education is a professional preparation program for those who wish to enter the exciting and creative career of art teaching. Students are immersed in a broad range of 2D and 3D studio art media and methods so that they will be versatile in the classroom while continuing to work as artists. Courses will provide the knowledge and experience needed to prepare and implement an effective curriculum for any elementary or secondary school grade level. Extensive field experiences allow developing art teachers to work directly with children and adolescents to apply and refine what they have learned about teaching strategies and classroom management appropriate for a variety of school settings serving diverse populations. The Art Education program stays up to date and guides students through the many requirements necessary to be awarded a Missouri K-12 Art Specialist certificate.

Prospective students may enroll in Art Education via one of three routes: Undergraduates will complete a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art degree concurrently with the certification program. Students who already hold undergraduate degrees may choose to pursue certification as non-degree students, or opt to apply for admission to the Master of Education degree and take courses required for certification that may also apply toward the graduate degree. Whichever route is chosen there will be plenty of opportunities to become involved in a Student Chapter of the National Art Education Association and attend local and state workshops and conferences. As with most education professions the job market for art teachers will vary from year to year and from region to region, but consistently there are numerous openings across Missouri each year.
