Certification to Teach Art
Students seeking initial certification as K-12 art teachers in New York must major in fine arts, taking at least five studio art courses, and also complete the certification minor in education. Fine arts majors intending to complete student teaching after graduation in the University’s Post-Baccalaureate Teacher Certification Program must complete the same requirements for the fine arts major and the educational studies minor in education (or its equivalent) as undergraduates. Consult the education section of the Catalog and/or speak to the coordinator of the teacher education program in the education department as early as possible.
