Welcome to the Arts & Education Program

The arts and education program provides students with an opportunity to examine the role of the arts in fostering personal and cultural development.

About the Arts & Education Program

The objective of the program is to enable students to form and articulate their own critical perspectives based upon an understanding of four fundamental aspects of arts education:

1. the nature of human development,
2. the nature of art and artistic expression,
3. the theory and practice of education, and
4. the experience of artistic expression.

This program is not intended to prepare students to teach in the arts; it is designed for students who wish to deepen their understanding of both art and education, while critically exploring the relationship between these two kinds of human experience.

The arts and education program offers an interdisciplinary major and minor.
