An art education degree prepares students for a rewarding career teaching art from pre-k through twelfth grade. The program combines the creative expertise of UNK's Art department with the instructional excellence of UNK's College of Education.

Program requirements include a wide range of studio courses to develop creative ability, methodology courses for academic competence, courses for understanding the philosophy and psychology of art education, methods for teaching students with diverse needs, and developing integrated curriculums.

Art Education students have many opportunities to experience the practical application of what they learn in class by working with PK–12 students through more than 100 hours of direct art-classroom observations and field experiences.

"When I came to UNK on a visit for art education it was my first ever college visit, and it ended up being my only college visit because I loved it so much.“ Kameran Ulferts spoke about how Professor Cavill inspired her. “Looking around at this artwork in general he kind of explained to me what different classes were like and what it would look like becoming an art education major at UNK, and it was just a one and done thing for me. It was like this is what I want to do, and he's an awesome mentor for me to this day.”
