Why Study This Program?

Both in-practice and aspiring art educators can refine their artistic passions and interests as an educator through the Art Education graduate programs. Millersville University offers two graduate-level options: a Master's of Education (M.Ed.) in Art Education, and a post-baccalaureate certificate (Instructional I) in Art.

Each course of study is designed to equip you to become an outstanding educator focused on your student’s learning. The Master's of Education degree offers in-depth courses for students who are already certified or are concurrently pursuing certification to teach grades K-12. Students can also take the required courses to obtain the Pennsylvania state certification in Art Education through the post-baccalaureate certificate course of study.

Admission to the master's and post-baccalaureate programs is open to applicants who possess a baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited four-year college or university. Applicants who completed their undergraduate art degree at Millersville University are not required to submit a portfolio for review to the post-baccalaureate program. No portfolio review is required for admission into the M.Ed. program. 

Millersville University's graduate Art Education programs are accredited by the National Association of Schools of Art and Design (NASAD).
