College of Visual and Performing Arts
Art Education
Our programs in art education are offered in conjunction with SU's School of Education and include three major emphases: an exploration of media and sensory involvement; developing art-centered art curricula based upon phenomenological encounters; and research into the disciplines of inquiry in art and art education. Courses in art education examine developmental, intuitive, cognitive, aesthetic, and expressive aspects of art, as well as social and political aspects of art education.
As members of the Syracuse University Student Art Education Association (SUSAEA), students plan trips and mini-conferences with faculty members and area art educators to exchange ideas and promote each other’s professional development. Master’s programs are available for those with no education background seeking teacher certification (preparation program) and for persons initially certified in art education who are seeking professional certification. The certificate of advanced studies (C.A.S.) program is also offered. A concentration in art education is also available for doctoral students enrolled in the teaching and curriculum program.
