Overview

The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education is a four-year program that prepares students for certification to teach K-12 visual arts or pursue another professional career. This program is offered in conjunction with the School of Education to ensure that students are equally and comprehensively exposed to the academic and artistic components of the degree. Students will also choose one of six specializations: ceramics, painting, printmaking, graphic design/multimedia, photography or sculpture. With a specialization in Ceramics, students will learn technical methods of clay construction, such as coil, slab and wheel, and apply them in traditional and nontraditional formats. In addition, students will learn clay composition, glaze chemistry and kiln construction. Students can fire their work in electric, gas, wood or salt kiln, as well as alternative firing techniques like pit, sagar and raku. Advanced students have their own studio spaces and lead teams in the firing of all the university kilns.

OPT and STEM OPT eligibility depend on maintaining F-1 status and on the program. A program counts as STEM only when its CIP code is on the official STEM list — not because its name sounds technical.
