The Master of Art Education program equips art educators to become thoughtful practitioners in the field through theoretical exploration, research, and cutting-edge technologies. It features two distinct pathways: one designed for certified teachers seeking to expand their Art Education expertise (M.A.E.), and another for individuals with a B.A., B.F.A., or equivalent degree pursuing simultaneous master's degree completion and teaching certification (M.A.E. Licensure). The program focuses on diverse specializations such as service-learning, museum studies, digital tools, curriculum design, artistic discourse, feminist perspectives, evaluation methods, aesthetic theory, program assessment, game-based learning, culturally responsive teaching, and urban education. Students engage in research and practical applications across educational, museum, and community environments.
