Earn an advanced degree in art education as a schoolteacher or a practicing artist, with an option to pursue Pennsylvania state certification with Temple’s Master of Education in Art Education at the Tyler School of Art and Architecture. This 33-credit hour graduate program offers elementary and secondary school teachers the opportunity to hone a specialization in studio art. The program is also beneficial for practicing artists who want to earn teaching credentials through an advanced degree.
The Tyler MEd trains students to teach art at the K–12 level and cultivate arts practices beyond formal educational institutions. The graduate program draws a diverse mix of students interested in the program’s focus on urban communities and rigorous study.
Develop an understanding for a broad range of art learners and build your repertoire of teaching strategies. The intermingling of visual art and education students pursuing complementary goals creates a stimulating synergy in our classes and the emphasis on research and studio practice keeps this NASAD-accredited degree program relevant.
Department faculty are highly accomplished in the field and committed to urban art education and the power of collaborating with communities. Their research interests and projects help graduate students not only learn how to teach art but how to affect positive change in the communities where they work.
Students have access to community arts and art therapy classes and take full advantage of the school’s location in Philadelphia. The city’s rich array of schools, communities, museums, galleries and artists provide robust opportunity for artistic growth, research, networking and jobs.
