Overview

Program Description When does an artist become a teacher? The MST in visual arts-all grades (art education) prepares students to teach the next generation of artists and to create art experiences while honing their own artistic skills. This accelerated program gives them a year of hands-on experience that will heavily mirror their life as an art educator. An art education master's degree prepares students for a career by embedding certifications and job placement support right into the curriculum. Students will work with regional schools to find the best fit for their personality, talents, and teaching goals. The MST in visual arts–all grades (art education) leads to initial/professional New York State certification in visual arts for grades K through 12. This certification allows applicants to teach in New York state public schools. The program features pedagogical studies, studio inquiry, and student teaching. The program prepares students to meet the national, state, and regional need for teachers of the visual arts and is designed for accomplished art educators and advocates for art and learning in all grades. The program is nationally accredited and is for teachers in art education who hold a BFA or BA (art major) degree. Classes begin each August and conclude in May. Graduates of teacher education programs at RIT have a 96 percent pass rate on the New York State Teacher Certification examinations.

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.
