Art Major with an emphasis in
ART EDUCATION

Students who would like to pursue a career in teaching art in grades K-12 will need to do the following:
Go to the EDUCATION website and download the necessary forms required for acceptance into the Professional Program In Education. Once you get accepted into the Education program as an Education minor (Level IV), the Art Advisor can then declare you as an Art Major with an emphasis in Art Education; and
Meet with the ART ADVISOR as soon as possible. Until you are accepted into Education, it is highly recommended that you declare an Art Major in studio art or gallery/museum practices. The lower level course work overlaps and this allows progress toward either emphasis.
The Art Major with an emphasis in Art Education focuses on establishing breadth in the studio art areas. This entails completing all of the introductory courses: painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, textiles/fibers, and jewelry/metals. Students also complete the design core, courses in art history, and a selection of at least four upper-level studio art courses.

ART ADVISOR: Christine Style, Chair of Art stylec@uwgb.edu
Declare your Major in Art with the Art Advisor as soon as possible or before your sophomore year. Many of the lower level art courses have a priority registration designation to reserve seats for the declared art major/minor.
