BFA in Art with K-12 certification

Love art so much you want to share it? Then teach it! As an Art Ed major, you'll learn about designing drawing, sculpting, painting, photography, printmaking, metalworking, and more. You'll learn about the history of art. You explore how children learn and how art expands a young person's world. And your BFA in Art Education means you're certified to teach K–12 art.

Make a living AND make a difference.

Art education is one of the most important professions in all the arts. Art educators uncover and unfold the potential of future artists, designers, and architects. They train the public about art. They build an audience and an appreciation for art by teaching people how to see it and understand it and enjoy it.
