Overview
An Art Education major at Concordia University prepares a student to teach K-12 art in and out of Minnesota. Students gain sophisticated knowledge of the field and the effective teaching skills needed to pass along that knowledge to their future students. Successful students have futures in any school setting, or they may attend graduate school for advanced degree work.
Majoring in Art Education involves the study of pedagogy, or the method and practice of teaching. You’ll develop the skills and insights to become an effective art teacher (K-12) and lifelong learner. You’ll gain knowledge and skills that are important for any teaching career as you take 82 to 87 credit hours towards a Bachelor of Arts degree, and the art education curriculum meets the Minnesota Department of Education requirements for a teaching credential (passage of standardized examinations of content and pedagogy are also required)
