About the Art Education Master’s Degree Program


The program is designed to allow students seeking a master’s degree to earn a certification in art (K–12) (, or to pursue advanced, post-certification studies. The degree is not required for certification, and certification requirements may vary based on academic experience. Participation in Arcadia’s unique Saturday STEAM program is a special feature of our program. See Certification Requirements.

Specific Admissions Requirement
