MA in Art Education

Develop your ideas

Graduate students in the Master of Arts in Art Education program engage deeply with the foundations, history and contemporary ideas surrounding teaching and learning art. With a dual focus on artmaking and idea exploration, you'll find new ideas and revisit concepts of interest — both creative and professional — as you refine your studio expertise and expand your art education knowledge and voice.

Deepen your skills

Working side-by-side with instructors in your chosen field of study, you'll receive one-on-one feedback and instruction. The cutting-edge tools and well-equipped facilities available to you as an SFA School of Art graduate student will feed your artistic interests and ambitions, while research-based art education coursework develops deeper understandings in the field of art education.

The hybrid low-residency MAAE is a 30-credit-hour degree that is typically completed in two years and concludes with completion of a publication-worthy written piece and a solo exhibition of your art. Students seeking a more studio-focused MAAE follow a similar coursework path, to complete a 36 credit-hour degree with an expanded offering in studio artmaking without the written research component. Requirements for either MAAE track must be completed within six years of admission to the program.
