Program Highlights
This program prepares undergraduates to teach, create and inspire art, art education and research. Our focus is on high school classrooms, especially those in Chicago, where our students address issues of quality and access to art education, both theoretically and in real life. Mentorship opportunities are also a big program staple. People enrolled in Art Ed work with licensed Chicago Public School teachers before they graduate.
The Art Education program makes it easy for undergraduates to complete their Illinois State teacher certification requirements, too. Our classes allow students to fulfill graduation and certification requirements at the same time. Upon completion of the major, students will be ready to apply for certification.
