Art programs are on the rise. Despite what you may have heard, the arts remain a vital part of K-12 education and talented art educators are in demand.

The CCS Art Education program is a unique, studio-based Visual Arts Teacher Certification program that combines an internationally recognized BFA degree with teacher preparation courses.

Art Education is a hands-on, innovative Teacher Certification program that focuses solely on the learning and teaching of art.

And if you’ve already earned your BFA, you may be able to complete our 27-credit Visual Arts Teacher Certification in two years or less.
