Art with K-12 Teaching Licensure (B.A. in Art)

This program of study allows students to complete a baccalaureate degree in art and also be licensed to teach art at the K-12 level at the end of four years. Students pursuing licensure in this manner complete all requirements necessary for Virginia licensure, including field experience and student teaching.

Admission Requirements: Students in this program must seek admission to the teacher licensure program and apply for student teaching. See the education section for admission requirements and procedures.

Degree Planning: Students in this program must take courses as specified to ensure fulfillment of state licensure requirements. In addition to working with an academic advisor and faculty mentor in the School of Design and Art, students must also see an education advisor in the School of Education for further information.

Also, course rotations vary, and not every course is available each semester. Individual advising is important to ensure students meet all major and teaching licensure requirements.

Minimum Grade Requirements: Students must maintain a 3.0 grade point average in their major. A grade of a C or better is required in any Art course that counts toward the degree. A grade of a C or better is required in professional studies courses with a minimum 3.0 GPA.  Professional studies courses are those associated with teacher preparation.  An overall 2.5 GPA is required.
