Combined Degrees -- B.A. / B.Ed.
The Bachelor of Arts in combination with a B.Ed. is a program that allows you to take courses in a creative milieu that includes a dedicated faculty, superb facilities and a university art collection second to none. Within your art major, you will study in the areas of drawing, painting, photo arts, printmaking and sculpture in a curriculum designed to unite art theory with history and studio practice. Besides your courses in Art, you will also take a diversity of other courses outside your major. For that reason, the B.A. is probably the best choice for students who wish to teach at an elementary level, where you will be expected to teach a broader range of subjects.
