Art Education Certification Program

The Art Education program at the Lamar Dodd School of Art is grounded in critical, experiential, and interdisciplinary inquiry. Faculty and students benefit from close proximity to the Georgia Museum of Art, partnerships with schools and community organizations in diverse settings, and the expertise of renowned studio and art history faculty within the School of Art. As a community of art educators, we explore the intersections of contemporary art, service-learning, and social justice. Graduates are encouraged to be innovators who challenge the status quo through locally and globally transformative practices.
