Bachelor of Arts in Art Education

Ball State University

The School of Art offers a four-year degree program leading to a Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts in Art Education. Art Education blends studio art practice with a strong foundation in education theory and pedagogy. Students begin in our First-Year Foundations Program which nurtures their interests and skills through classes in drawing, 2D, 3D, and 4D. In Art Education courses, students learn about curricula and teaching methods in art studio, art history, art criticism, and aesthetics, providing them with practical tools to teach art in a range of situations and contexts. Students engage in hands-on art creation, while learning how to teach and mentor students of all ages and skill levels. With courses in drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, digital media, and art history, students develop a well-rounded understanding of the visual arts.
