The Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in art degree with an art education emphasis is designed for students who want to prepare for a career in teaching the visual arts in grades prekindergarten through the 12th grade. The art teacher must develop competencies in general studies, professional education and a range of studio art skills. Students must select a specialization in studio art or graphic design coursework. The art education program also facilitates a broad awareness of the social and cultural functions of art that connect and empower students through opportunities of community engaged artistic practices. The professional education component is dealt with in a practical context, relating educational theories and strategies to the student鈥檚 day-by-day artistic experiences. Art teacher candidates are provided opportunities for various types of teaching and directed observation through the period of undergraduate art education study. There is a four-semester sequence of field work beginning with one-hour per week for a semester and ending with an academic year of internship. During the internship year, the first semester is spent in a 12-week assignment with a single class period for a daily experience. The second semester is an all-day experience.
