Prepare to Teach in Public or Private Schools.

Most alumni with a B.S. Art Education degree take the National Teacher Examination to receive their K-12 art education certification and become teachers in public and private schools. You can either obtain a B.F.A. in a specific studio concentration and then earn your teacher certification by taking one additional semester of classes or complete the Art Education degree with a minor in Psychology.

Work in a Community Setting.

Choose to follow the Community Arts concentration and work closely with community groups or nonprofits to implement projects that bring the arts to people who might not otherwise have that opportunity. Round out your education with minors in areas as Sociology and Communication Studies.
