If you enjoy helping others understand the value and importance of the visual arts in daily life, Wichita State University is the place for you. Our art education program leads to a Bachelor of Art Education degree with certification to teach art in grades K through 12 in Kansas public schools.
Arts teachers use thinking skills unique to the visual arts to integrate the curriculum.
Since the visual arts are now computer-integrated, our new computer graphics studio in the School of Art and Design provides a solid foundation in contemporary media. Once you graduate, you'll be ready to help your students learn about art through computer technology. Wichita State's urban setting offers you many opportunities for palcement in field settings. You may choose to work with an art teacher in a public school, or take additional courses in studio arts skills, art history, and appreciation and the development of sequential art curriculum for the elementary and secondary levels. The School of Art and Design is the beneficiary of the Clayton Staples Trust for art scholarships.
