What will I learn?

Our master's programs in Arts Education offer students opportunities to explore creativity and meaning-making through the arts, through investigation of arts practices, pedagogy and ways of being in inquiry. Students will engage in arts explorations and scholarship in a community of artists, creatives, and arts educators. These explorations can be implemented in a variety of traditional and non-traditional educative environments.The Master of Arts (MA) in Arts Education prepares students for work in various arts educational contexts and is a suitable foundation for doctoral study. The Master of Arts (MA) program requires fewer courses than the MEd, but involves the completion and examination of an academic thesis. Students may be admitted to the MA after completing four courses and with approval of the arts faculty team. A total of five courses will have been completed upon acceptance into the MA program. Students however are encouraged to complete all six courses to deepen understanding and knowledge for thesis research and writing.
