Moore, Associate Professor, Ed.D., Harvard University. Tyler School of Art offers graduate studies in art education, studio art, art history, and education, leading to the Master of Education (M.Ed.) with a Major in Art degree. This program is designed for the practicing art teacher or supervisor of elementary or secondary art, as well as the individual with an undergraduate art background seeking professional preparation to teach art. This program encourages you to develop as a creative artist/teacher with a breadth of study through and about art, along with specialized research demonstrating awareness of significant issues in art education. Applications for the fall semester must be received by April 1 and for the spring semester by November 1. The Art Education Program offers one teaching and one technical assistantship on a competitive basis. These assistantships are customarily awarded to students in their second year of graduate study. Full-time students may also qualify for work-study awards or financial aid in the form of a Perkins Loan. For further information on financial aid, please contact the Financial Aid Officer, Tyler School of Art, (215) 782-ARTS.
Requirements for admission include a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution with evidence of at least 40 undergraduate studio art credits and 9 credits in art history courses. Undergraduate GPA should be at least 3.0 in art courses or 3.0 in junior and senior year. Also required are competitive score results (at least 50th% percentile or above) in the Millers Analogies Test (MAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE) taken within the past five years. Some admissions requirements may be waived with the approval of the Art Education Program Coordinator and the Associate Dean. The M.Ed. with a Major in Art is granted upon successful completion of 33 credits distributed as follows: Art Education Component Four courses (12 credits) are required in art education or education study, including three required courses: Art Education Research, Contemporary Issues in Art Education, and History of Art Education. One course (3 credits) may be taken in any of the art education, education, or liberal arts studies offered by the University, provided it complements a particular research interest and receives prior adviser approval. Art History Component Two courses (6 credits) are required in art history, chosen from a range of graduate offerings. Studio Component Five courses (15 credits), chosen from Tyler's extensive studio course listings, are required in studio course electives at the graduate level. Studies in depth are encouraged and students may take as many as three courses (9 credits) in one studio area. Teaching Certification M.Ed. candidates may pursue Teaching Certification concurrently with their graduate studies. An additional 14-17 credits (depending on academic background) in the professional sequence includes courses in educational psychology, education, art education methods, and an internship and student teaching in art. The M.Ed. with Teaching Certification Program of 44-47 credits, along with successful completion of the NTE and Art Education Examination, provides all of the requirements for Pennsylvania State Certification in Art, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Pennsylvania Teaching Certification is awarded to United States citizens only. The M.Ed. can be pursued on a full- or part-time basis. The master's degree should be completed within four years of the matriculation date. Students may apply for possible extension of time for one year only. Students must be continuously enrolled, unless they have applied for an official leave of absence. Time on leave does not alter the time requirement for completion of the degree. The M.Ed. degree (without certification) can be earned in three semesters of full-time study. Students may transfer into the program up to 9 credits of Temple University graduate course work if the credits were earned within the prior five years. Up to 6 credits of graduate course work taken at other accredited institutions within the prior five years before matriculation may be considered for transfer into the program after the student has enrolled, upon the recommendation of the student's adviser and Art Education Coordinator. Terminal Requirements At the end of your final semester's residence, you are required to pass a graduate review of your artwork conducted by a committee of studio and art education faculty. In addition, a scholarly master's paper is a terminal requirement for the M.Ed. degree. Developed through your research under the guidance of an adviser, the paper stands in lieu of a comprehensive examination. Course Descriptions -Art Education 401.
