Master in Art Education

Moore’s Master of Arts in Art Education with an Emphasis in Special Populations is a rigorous program that prepares and empowers art educators to develop skills for adapting and implementing strategies that enrich all learners' lives.

We develop and test innovative techniques through action-based research in a field setting while critically assessing art education policies and documenting contemporary art education issues for diverse learners. Our candidates graduate prepared to enter the classroom and advance art education through their everyday practice.
