Academic Requirements
Admission Requirements:
- The Master of Arts program in art education requires a minimum of 38 s.h. of graduate credit.

Applications must include a representative portfolio of the applicant\'s work, consisting of eight slide reproductions of artwork and one example of written work, which may be a paper previously written for a course or an original paper.
