Bachelor of Arts in Education in Secondary Art

This major satisfies the endorsement for preschool to grade 12.

Students who successfully complete the coursework and other requirements for this BAE degree will be eligible for Washington state teacher certification and are eligible to be employed in the public school system as an art teacher.  Teaching art is a highly rewarding career choice with a variety of employment possibilities – not only are art teachers needed in public schools – but they are also employed in museums, community centers, and/or corporate training venues, etc. Of note, Eastern Washington University’s outstanding art education program strives to produce effective teachers who are working artists.

All BAE/Art Education students will work closely with BOTH an Art Department advisor and Education Department advisor.
