Art Education (K-12) Graduate Certificate


The graduate certificate in Art Education (K-12) is intended for those seeking to develop a knowledge and skill base that undergirds effective, equity focused teaching of art to K-12 learners from a range of backgrounds. A graduate certificate in Art Education is appropriate for K-12 teachers endorsed in areas outside of Art Education, K-12 teachers endorsed in Art Education at the undergraduate level, non-endorsed professionals whose work interfaces significantly with K-12/art education (e.g., museum, public-service agency), and those interested in home schooling. Coursework in this certificate is designed to lead to an additional endorsement in Art Education for teachers licensed in other areas in the state of Tennessee, pending transcript review*, passing appropriate licensure exams and recommendation of the faculty advisor.* Home department: Theory and Practice in Teacher Education .
