5-Year BFA/MAT in Visual Arts

The 5-Year Bachelor of Fine Arts/Master of Arts in Teaching in Visual Arts program makes it possible for students majoring in an art or design field to use their undergraduate years as a key step toward certification as a K-12 art or design teacher, in five years rather than six.

This is a professional degree program incorporating preparation for the Pennsylvania state teaching certificate and includes a 14-week student teaching practicum. Additional coursework includes the history, theory and practice of art education.
