ART TEACHER PREPARATION PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Art Department provides a subject matter preparation program
in art education for students who want to become teachers in
the public schools, teachers in after school programs, or art
education facilitators in museums and art galleries. The art
education courses and intensive studio art courses provide
students with many opportunities to devote themselves to studio
production, aesthetics, art criticism, art history, elementary
and secondary curriculum development, assessment strategies,
and diversity and equity issues.
Students completing the program receive a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art Studio (with course work in art education) and are eligible to apply to the Professional Education Program in the College of Education to complete additional teaching requirements. Upon completion of the Professional Education Program, students will receive a preliminary teaching credential in art.
Many graduates find teaching positions in elementary, middle and secondary schools within California, while others choose teaching positions in the private sector. Graduates also work in galleries, museums, or special education facilities, while others become entrepreneurs who open private art consulting businesses or art galleries.
