Students wishing to become certified to teach in public schools may pursue either a Bachelor of Art Education or a Master of Art Education at Herron.

The Art Education Program of the Herron School of Art is offered in conjunction with the School of Education of Indiana University Bloomington and IUPUI. All degree requirements of the Art Education Program satisfy Rules 46-47 of the Indiana Department of Public Instruction. A student may satisfy certification requirements to teach art in the public schools of Indiana by being an art major in the Herron School of Art.

The Bachelor of Art Education Degree

Students enrolled in the B.F.A. program at the Herron School of Art may also pursue an All-Grade Indiana State Teachers License in Art. Students wishing to pursue certification need to declare a second major (B.A.E.) and follow the requirements for this degree as well as the B.F.A. Students should meet regularly with advisors from both major areas to ensure efficient completion of both degrees. Transfer students holding a baccalaureate degree and M.A.E. candidates without a teaching license may also pursue certification to teach in the public schools in Indiana. These students must have completed a minimum of 50 credit hours in undergraduate art courses, have a 2.5 cumulative grade point average, have submitted a portfolio of studio work, and be admitted to the Teacher Education Program in the School of Education at IUPUI.
