Art Education Major Curriculum
Art Education Major

The Art Education Major consists of 103-109 credit hours of course work, dependent upon whether the student chooses a public school or Lutheran education focus.  In both cases coursework blends studio and education courses to fully prepare students for a rewarding career in art education. Upon successful completion of all coursework, including a semester of student teaching, art education majors earn full licensure by the State of Wisconsin to teach art at the elementary and secondary levels (K-12). In addition to requirements for the 52-credit K-12 Education core, art education majors complete the following required coursework.
