The MA in Art Education program intends for its graduates to improve the quality of art education instruction and delivery within the art education learning environment and to enhance the transformative opportunities for individuals with special needs to learn and express themselves through art.
The Locks Career Center offers a wide array of services at every step of the graduate experience. Along with resources like the electronic job bank COOL: Career Opportunities On-Line, information on artists’ residencies, grants, exhibitions, competitions and community services is compiled and regularly updated. The Locks Career Center also provides assistance in developing résumés and curricula vitae, and makes available books, templates and special seminars to help artists, educators and designers shape a working life.
Each graduate student is assigned a Locks Career Center liaison with whom they will meet to create and facilitate a personalized action plan for professional development. Upon completion of degree requirements, the Locks Career Center continues to provide intensive support with employment searches, including help with mock interviews, business correspondence, salary negotiations and networking opportunities.
