You will also have many opportunities to network with local art teachers through membership in TCU?s student chapter of the Texas Art Education Association (TAEA). Multiple opportunities for paid and volunteer art teaching exist through TCU?s summer art children?s camps, service projects with local hospitals, community arts centers, and area schools. At the end of your degree, you will complete a semester-long teaching internship at a local elementary or secondary school, and upon graduation and passing of the state exam, you will be fully certified to teach PK-12 art in Texas. Texas maintains reciprocal teaching certificate agreements with 45 other states. Since 2006, every TCU Art Education graduate who has sought a job

• When you major in Art Education you join a structured, intensive professional program that prepares you to teach art in elementary and secondary schools, and introduces you to other careers in art education such as art therapy, museum education, and community art education.
• Students choose to major in art education because they enjoy helping people through the medium of art.
• Your freshman year, you will begin observing art teachers in local schools, visiting art therapy centers, hospital art programs, art museum education programs and a variety of other sites. This past year, art education majors taught art to orphans in Uganda, high schoolers in Panama, high school students with disabilities, elementary children, at summer art camps for kids, in local schools on Fridays, in the cancer unit of a local hospital, to children and their mothers at a domestic violence shelter, etc.
