M.A. Ed. '17

I will always be proud to be a graduate of the UGA Art Education program, and I am thankful for the experiences it provided me! I was surprised by how much I didn’t know about my field! The program opened my eyes to the depth of art education, including theoretical foundations, new teaching methodologies, and the potential to impact students’ lives beyond the classroom. It provides opportunities to grow as an art educator, explore new perspectives, and connect with a diverse group of peers who become lifelong friends and collaborators. This program offers an incredible experience that will push you in the best ways, helping you grow both as an educator and as a person.

About the Program

Offered online through the Lamar Dodd School of Art, the University of Georgia’s Master of Art Education (M.A.Ed.) explores the intersections of art curriculum, contemporary art, disability studies, culturally responsive practices, and digital technology. As a student in the program, you will investigate contemporary content and methods for art education, conduct inquiries that impact your practice, and experiment with artistic processes.  Graduates are encouraged to be reflective, creative, and critical practitioners who challenge the status quo through locally and globally transformative practices.

UGA’s Master of Art Education offers you a flexible program completely online, with the option to attend a one-week, summer, studio-focused residency on campus, during which time you will complete no more than 5% of your total credit hours for the program.

Whether you are a full-time, working professional or someone looking to enhance your career through a degree in art education, this program provides an ideal opportunity to complete your MAEd from one of the largest, most highly ranked university art programs in the nation online and on your own time.

Learn from Lamar Dodd

The Art Education program at UGA is situated firmly within the School of Art (while many art education programs are situated within colleges of education). This gives us a distinct opportunity to offer an optional residential experience that capitalizes on the resources of the School of Art including state-of-the-art facilities and studio faculty participating in the summer residency experience.
