Department Requirements (24 credits)
The Advanced Certificate in Art Education (24-credits) is a path leading to an initial or professional teaching certificate for students who already hold a Master's degree in art or an appropriate discipline, or an MFA. The curriculum consists of education courses, field experiences, to accommodate students who have family and/or professional responsibilities. Most students complete the program in two years; however, individuals are free to set their own pace for progressing through the program. This program is open to both Masters and MFA students.
By completing this Advanced Certificate program, students will learn about integrating multiple perspectives of teaching art by understanding human functioning and development across art education (PK-12) domains, and culture.
Matriculation requirements:
Entrance requirements for acceptance include an earned graduate degree with a grade point average of at least 3.0. Applicants must have completed a graduate degree in art or related field. Additional courses may be required prior to admission to remedy any deficiency in a prospective student's ability to meet matriculation requirements. Applicants must have a minimum undergraduate scholastic index of 3.00. A minimum average of 3.00 in graduate courses is required to maintain matriculation.
Applicants who have not completed all the specific course requirements are given individual consideration and may be admitted with conditions, with the approval of the program coordinator of art education and the chairperson of the Early Childhood and Art Education Department.
Applicants are required to demonstrate written proficiency in English. International applicants for whom English is a second language are required to pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score of at least 575 on the paper- based test or 233 on the computer-based test or 79 on the internet-based test, before being considered for admission.
Applicants must submit a digital portfolio of their art work.
General matriculation and admission requirements of Graduate Studies are in the section "Admission."

The department Chair may allow substitutions for one or more of these requirements consistent with the educational goals of the program.
Students must obtain fingerprinting clearance. Fieldwork or student-teaching in an early childhood setting requires students to be fingerprinted by New York City Department of Investigation or Department of Health. Fieldwork/student-teaching in a public school requires students to be fingerprinted by the New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE); See SOE website for more information.
Maintain matriculated status. Students must have passed the following NYS exams at the specified transition points:
1. CST-Visual Art section: prior to student teaching;
2. The Educating All Students (EAS) exam: prior to student-teaching or completing the degree program.
Throughout student-teaching, students complete the Art Education program-specific performance assessment, which involves submitting video clips of teaching and lesson plans along with commentaries on planning and instruction.
A student must complete student teaching with a B or higher, students who receive a grade lower than a B must apply to the ECAE chairperson for permission to reregister to repeat student teaching. Students will be allowed to repeat an ECAE course (including student-teaching) only once.
Note. Students not seeking certification must schedule a meeting with the Graduate Art Education Program Coordinator to set up an alternative transition point plan during their initial semester.
