The Artist Teacher Experience
As a student in the online Master of Arts in Art Education, you will become part of a long tradition of graduate students studying visual arts at the College of Fine Arts at Boston University. Since 1954, we have been a leading institution in the preparation of artists and teachers who have taught in institutions across the country.
The online Master of Arts degree program in Art Education will encourage you to focus on the thought and behavioral processes involved in art making and show you how to foster a more conscious approach to these processes among your students and in your own work. While you will benefit from being part of a major research university, our faculty and staff is committed to providing you with individual support.
Delivered in an online format, the Master of Arts in Art Education program experience is an immersive and interactive one where faculty and students dialogue, collaborate, and grow as an artistic community.
