Students have three opportunities to begin the online MA in Art Education each year.

Upcoming Start Date:
The next start date is May 29, 2024.

We offer rolling admissions, so there is no deadline to apply. However, we recommend submitting your application as soon as possible, as the application review process will end two weeks prior to the start of each semester.


Admission Requirements

Students must meet the following requirements for admission to the program:

  • A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college or university including 30 credit hours in art.
  • A minimum 3.0 cumulative undergraduate GPA on a four-point scale.
  • No GRE or MAT required

Note: New York State requires applicants who are seeking teacher certification to meet certain general education requirements. Applicants who do not meet these requirements will still be considered for admission to the MA in Art Ed and may complete these courses in conjunction with the master’s degree. An academic advisor will work with you to determine if additional coursework is required.
