Art Education Post-Baccalaureate Certification Program

Announcement: Application review for the Post-Baccalaureate in Art Education degree program has ended for spring semester 2010. It will reopen on February 1 for fall 2010 enrollment.

The Art Education Certification Program is open to students who have successfully completed an undergraduate art and design or studio art degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

The program can be completed in a minimum of three semesters, and consists of four professional education courses, two reading courses, and three semesters of art education core courses, including student teaching at the elementary and secondary levels. In addition, a full range of studio art and art history courses are required. Students must successfully pass the Praxis I (or 1100 minimum SAT test scores) and Praxis II exams. Entry in the program requires an interview with the area coordinator of Art Education, Dr. Kay Broadwater. Transcripts and a studio portfolio will be reviewed at that time.

Successful completion of this program will certify the student to teach art education K-12 in the State of Maryland and all states sharing agreements with Maryland.
