The Art Education major is designed for those students who wish to teach art as a profession. The college offers a program leading to K–12 art licensure in conjunction with the School of Education. Ideally, the student should begin the program during the freshman year to accommodate the course requirements in both areas.
Meredith has
recently discontinued its major in Pre Art Therapy. After considering the
issue carefully, we have concluded that students interested in pursuing
Art Therapy at the graduate level should be encouraged to seek a double
major in Studio Art and Psychology, or a major in Studio Art and a minor
in Psychology. In either case, your course of study should be planned in
consultation with the department heads in both Psychology and Art. 84
