Become a Leader in Art Education
A master’s degree in art education can help secure your future — whether you’re a pre-K-12 art teacher who wants advanced training and professional development credits, or an art educator who works in a cultural institution and wants to increase your knowledge and advance in your career.

To help you reach your education and career goals, Penn State World Campus and Penn State’s School of Visual Arts have partnered to create an online Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Art Education.

Why Art Education Online at Penn State?

This innovative online graduate program blends electronic and experiential learning. Accredited by NCATE and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, the curriculum provides art education professionals with new perspectives on teaching and learning. In addition to your earning professional development hours, such as Act 48 in Pennsylvania, the faculty can help you prepare for certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS).

Who Should Apply?

If you are a Pre-K-12 art educator who wants to earn professional development credits or prepare for NBPTS certification, this could be the program for you. NBPTS certification is granted by NBPTS (not Penn State) and requires additional forms, fees, tests, and possible course work. Those interested in this certification should consult with the lead faculty before registering for your first course.

Additionally, this program is an excellent choice if you are an art education professional in a museum, or other cultural institution, who needs to acquire a graduate degree for an entry-level position and beyond.

Please note that this program does not lead to initial teacher certification, however, this program may help you to renew your certification. Check with your state's Department of Education for exact requirements for recertification.
