Art Education Programs, birth-grade 12
- Initial Certification
- Professional Certification
The Art Education Programs at Nazareth College strive to nurture and sustain
art educators as they meet the challenges of today’s schools and assume a
leadership role in shaping the schools of tomorrow. At the graduate level, the
goal is to enrich and expand art educators who look critically and reflectively
at the role art education plays in the school curriculum. Through an
artist-teacher model, the graduate programs provide students with an opportunity
to engage in advanced and concentrated study in the visual arts. The program
leading to initial certification also utilizes a field based model to prepare
students for teaching art by critically analyzing and synthesizing artistic and
educational theory and practice at all levels of learning in area schools. The
programs ensure a broadening of artistic knowledge, and teaching skill for those
students seeking professional certification, with an emphasis on the development
of the aesthetic and critical artist-teacher.
