Art Education Graduate Students
Arts education is characterized by multi-disciplinary ways of understanding research and, to the same degree, by the nature of the research field itself. Each research field is characterized by specific culturally, socially, and historically influenced ideas, structures, patterns, and goals. Researchers in the College of Visual Arts and Design's art education program investigate, break barriers and develop new theories of art teaching and learning and prepare themselves to be researchers and professors of art education at colleges and universities.
