Art Education - Boston University

Art Education from Boston University is a Campus Master Teaching degree that prepares you for a Education career. In the art education program, students concentrate on understanding the processes involved in art making and the learning processes of students. The faculty encourage them to teach children and adolescents to think visually, rather than to simply create products aimlessly without personal meaning. Students are further prepared to demonstrate the vital relationships between art and culture, art and emotion, and art and history. By studying art in context, young artists are more inclined to treat the creation of art seriously and with individual expression. The art education department offers three degree options for students interested in the field of teaching. The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education degree is designed for the undergraduate student, who after completing all requirements, is eligible for Initial Licensure. The Five-Year BFA/MFA Program is possible for serious, focused and organized undergraduate students, to combine the Bachelor of Fine Arts degree , majoring in a studio area (painting, sculpture, or graphic design) with the Master of Fine Arts in Studio Teaching degree , completing both courses of study in five years. Students who choose this option have the advantage of an exceptionally strong studio background, as well as a masters of fine arts degree that includes all requirements for teaching certification.
