Art Education Post-Baccalaureate Certification Program

Announcement:  No new applications for the fall 2012 Post-Baccalaureate program are being accepted. Applicants who have already been in contact with Dr. Broadwater, should set up an interview in June. Please contact by email only.

Applications for spring 2013 will begin in September, with a portfolio review in mid-October 2012. 

The Art Education Certification Program is open to students who have successfully completed an undergraduate art and design or studio art degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0.

The program can be completed in a minimum of three semesters, and consists of four professional education courses, two reading courses, and three semesters of art education core courses, including full time unpaid student teaching at the elementary and secondary levels. In addition, a full range of studio art and art history courses are required. Students must successfully pass the Praxis I (or 1100 minimum SAT test scores) and Praxis II exams. Entry in the program requires an interview with the area coordinator of Art Education, Dr. Kay Broadwater. Transcripts and a studio portfolio will be reviewed at that time.

Successful completion of this program will certify the student to teach art education K-12 in the State of Maryland and all states sharing agreements with Maryland.
