Overview

If you want to be an art teacher, you’re in the right place. This 4.5-year Art Education (Teacher Licensure) degree* at Washburn University will prepare you to teach at any grade level, pre-kindergarten to high school, where you may have either a dedicated classroom or travel to more than one building to support students. As an Ichabod, you’ll have an advisor in the Art Department and the Department of Education to help you reach your goals in the classroom and beyond.

Key facts

About one-third of our graduates in the last five years have completed this degree in four years. The course-load required to do that is challenging if you’re balancing work and/or family obligations.

If instead you want to double major and combine art with another field, consider the Bachelor of Arts in Art. If you seek a career based on studio practice, the BFA in Studio Art may be the best choice for you, and if you are interested in studying the history of material culture around the world, the BA in Art History may be the right option. Your advisor can help you find the right match for your goals.
