We offer the Bachelor of Science in Art Education, an accredited program leading to Pennsylvania Certification in Art, K-12. Newly-expanded offerings in the Community Arts have developed courses with outreach to the Philadelphia community. Graduates from our Art programs have gone on to graduate study, field work in art galleries, studios, and a wide variety of art-related occupations. We have a 92% placement rate for Art Education in K-12 schools and also in community sites.
The Art Education program ensures a fully-rounded preparation for the elementary and secondary school teacher. This program provides content study for art teacher preparation and teacher certification to teach art in kindergarten through twelfth grade. The requirements for the degree are 122 total credits. 42 credits are in studio art, 10 credits in Art History, 20 credits in Art Education, 15 credits in Education and Special Education, and 35 credits in General Education and required or elective liberal arts courses. A 3.0 minimum cumulative GPA is required for registration in all Art Education courses. The Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education may be conferred upon a student by recommendation of the faculty and upon the satisfactory completion of a minimum of 122 semester hours of credit with a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0.
A portfolio is required for admission into the B.S. in Art Education degree program. If you have completed college-level studio courses and are seeking studio equivalency credit, you must complete a transfer portfolio review. The department will only accept up to 24 transfer credits of studio work toward the major. Students who are seeking admission into the B.S. in Art Education degree program must contact the Tyler Admissions Office (215-777-9090) for portfolio requirements.
