Graduate Information

You might feel hampered or unfulfilled in an office, or you may have teaching experience and want to change your specialty. Our graduate programs in the Department of Early Childhood Education/Art Education will give you the skills and knowledge you need to become a certified teacher in New York State focusing on early childhood or art education (PreK–12). Early childhood spans from birth to age eight, and teachers will be trained to deal with the unique needs of this age group. Art education teachers will learn how best to nurture the creativity of students of all ages and how to run a classroom where the imagination runs free but the students are under control.
