This degree program is designed for experienced teachers desiring to expand and deepen their knowledge of art and sharpen their educational abilities as a basis for their professional work and personal development. Our goal is to create a local, national and international community of colleagues engaged in active, shared learning for application in their teaching. This curriculum presumes that students in the program either already have completed initial certification as teachers or do not intend this as a goal. Distinct from the Corcoran MAT, this program focuses on youth education in schools, while making use of our resources for museum and community linkages. Ample latitude for individual goals is emphasized. Part-time and summer study are common.

“Innovative,
responsive teaching is a creative art form in itself. Art is the most
powerful, direct material
for formal and personal learning of all human forms of expression. In
combination, visual art and good teaching can and do change lives every
day. Art education challenges the mind and heart of teacher and student
alike, with an impact that can last a lifetime.”
| A typical schedule equals 3–5 courses per year (Education, Studio, or other art courses). The Praxis Thesis and Studio Masters Capstone may be completed out of residence, with close faculty supervision. |
