Concurrent with these studies, they complete an Art Education sequence that is taught collaboratively with the Bank Street College of Education. Students work directly with school children in supervised teaching experiences throughout the program. Parsons' Art Education Program is available in a half-time, single year format. This option, allowing students to complete the requirements for provisional certification for teaching art in elementary or secondary school in New York State, is available to qualified BFA, BA, or BS degree graduates who have 36 credits of studio art and art history in their undergraduate degree program. Classes are conducted in the late afternoons.
Student teaching requires two full days per week of on-site work.
