M.Ed. Art Education

About the Master's in Art Program

The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Art Education is a graduate degree for both in-practice and aspiring art educators. Most students enrolled in the M.Ed. program currently hold a K-12 certification and may be employed as art teachers; however, M.Ed. students can also take the required courses to obtain the Pennsylvania state certification in art education if they are not already certified.  Through the M.Ed. program, students will take coursework in art education, general education, art history, studios, and elective credits.  Students concentrate on developing a Thesis (33 Credits) or a Research Project (36 Credits).  For additional information on Millersville's Master of Education in Art Education please visit the College of Graduate and Professional Studies.
