What will I learn?

The Master of Arts in Art Education (MAAE) is a 36-credit program that teaches students how to apply their knowledge and talents to become change makers, activists, and catalysts for positive change, going beyond the conventional to reach radical possibilities in art education research and practice. Our future art educators will be immersed in a theory-rich academic experience, rigorous research training and a hands-on, field-based practicum that reflects current trends and roles that art educators play in diverse professional settings, including community organizations, non-government organizations, museums, galleries, and visitor centres – wherever people welcome the opportunity to learn with, in and through art.
