The unique timeframe allows the freedom and flexibility to become licensed teacher, with certificates in art education (1550) and adaptive arts (1859) and continue on to earn a Master of Arts degree in education, all within two years. Admission to this pathway requires prior completion of an undergraduate degree in Art; candidates who have completed an undergraduate degree with incomplete Art coursework will be required to complete remaining requirements.
