Graduate Work
This MAE program was created for artists that teach. Designed around a teacher's schedule, it's a studio-intensive degree that allows K-12 certified art teachers to beef up, recharge, refresh (and fulfill requirements for maintaining their teaching certification while they're at it). Develop an area of artistic expertise or explore a variety among drawing, painting, photography, or printmaking. Grow your critical and analytical skills. Learn progressive approaches to teaching visual arts. Discuss how technology enhances the classroom. Our goal is that you'll come away enriched, challenged, and energized to continue mentoring and inspiring the next generation of artists.
