The B.S.Art Ed. degree is designed for those students intending to pursue a career of teaching in the public schools. In addition to the studio course requirements, students take a range of courses in the College of Education that lead to teacher certification. The B.S.Art Ed. is a rigorous degree specializing in studio art. The B.A. degree with a major in art is designed to ensure a broad, liberal education with an emphasis in art. Students pursuing this degree must meet the B.A. degree requirements listed in the College of Letters and Science section of this catalog.
Priority is given to full-time graduate students.
Admission requirements for the M.F.A. include a minimum grade-point average of 2.80 and an undergraduate degree in a studio area, or its equivalent as determined by the Art Department graduate faculty. Applicants with these deficiencies who are admitted to the M.F.A. program may be required to include deficiency course work as part of their graduate program. Deficiency courses are required but do not count towards satisfying degree requirements. Admission to the M.A.T. degree requires an undergraduate degree, or its equivalent as determined by the Art Department graduate faculty, at least 20 credits of undergraduate art course work, and a minimum grade-point average of 2.80. Fewer than 20 credits in art courses at the undergraduate level is considered a deficiency.
