Art Education
M.Ed. in Art Education Cohort
Our M.Ed. is a studio intensive, two-year program. Students spend two summers engaged in personal studio development while working in group studios. Individual critical and creative explorations carry into the fall and spring semesters, off-campus. Applicants must have considerable strength in art education and present a portfolio of personal art work.
M.A. & PhD
Research focused programmes in Educational Studies with an Art Education focus. Students are asked to consider the expertise of faculty members in the area and working together with their supervisor, develop an individualized programme of study designed to culminate in a substantial research contribution to the field. Faculty in Art Education are interested in the intersections between art making, learning, teaching, and research. Maintaining their practices as artists, they are interested in exploring how studio processes present generative and pedagogical ways of thinking and learning.
