The program allows students to concentrate on individually selected areas of study that include developing methods that teach children and adolescents to think visually and to create art that has personal meaning in schools, museums, or community settings.

The School of Visual Arts is pleased to also offer an Online Master of Arts in Art Education for experienced teachers who are unable to relocate.
