Art Education

专业介绍

Art education is a perfect choice for students who thrive in creative, collaborative environments. People who choose this meaningful career path love viewing, discussing, and making works of art, and are also passionate about engaging others in these artistic processes.

UW–Madison’s art education program provides essential preparation for a variety of careers in art education. Students work directly with children and adolescents in both school and community-based field placements in three of four semesters of the program. They study with outstanding art and education faculty in a range of rigorous and engaging studio, art history, and education courses, while also connecting with Madison’s vibrant arts community through field trips and service learning.

Graduates of our program earn a bachelor of science degree, a career-ready Wisconsin teaching license in K–12 art education, and gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence to teach the visual arts in a variety of school and community-based settings. The job market for art educators is incredibly healthy across the nation, and virtually all of our graduates land jobs that match their interests and expertise.

Consult the departmental website for additional information about art education. Students intending to teach in Wisconsin may be eligible for the Teacher Pledge, an opt-in loan forgiveness program for teacher education students.
