Our program embraces the artist-teacher concept which allows students to develop a strong studio practice while preparing to teach art at the K-12 level. The program is comprehensive, meaning students take coursework to prepare them to teach at the elementary and secondary school levels. Two degree options exist for students, a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts) in Art Education (link to checksheet) or a B.F.A. (Bachelor of Fine Arts) with an additional concentration in Art Education (link to checksheet). The B.F.A. degree provides students with a stronger studio background and is chosen by many students. The Art Education program enjoys good working relationships with school districts in the state of Colorado. Art Education students are required to meet specific standards when officially applying to the program. This is usually done during the second semester of the sophomore year. The requirements for admission to the Teacher Education Program can be obtained from the School of Teacher Education and Principal Preparation (STEPP).
