BA in Education - Secondary Education (Art) in Reno United States | University of Nevada, Reno

The Secondary Education Program focuses on equipping future educators with the skills to tackle modern classroom demands. Our teacher education curriculum helps students: build a solid understanding of teaching principles, cultivate a passion for learning, embrace democratic values and diversity, and reflect on their professional development. The program delivers these outcomes through: A comprehensive liberal arts education with specialization in the student's chosen teaching field, foundational courses in secondary education, subject-specific teaching strategies, studies in educational psychology and child development, techniques for working with diverse learners and students with special needs, training in educational technology integration, and hands-on teaching practice in public schools.

The Art major within the Secondary Education program culminates in a Bachelor of Arts degree from the College of Education and Human Development (120 credits). Students may pair this with a content area degree, often without additional credit requirements. Program graduates complete a semester-long teaching internship to qualify for Nevada state licensure, preparing them to teach their specialized subject to grades 7-12 students.
