The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) invites you to join us for an Information Session to learn more about the Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) and Master of Arts in Art Education (MAAE) programs.
SAIC’s Master of Arts in Teaching program is a full-time, 48-credit-hour program that prepares students to become critical teachers of visual culture and fulfills requirements for State of Illinois K–12 Type 10 certification. Students are required to gain more than 600 hours of pre-clinical and clinical teaching experience under the supervision of a cooperating teacher and Art Education faculty member. In addition, MAT students pursue relevant research that culminates in the production of a master’s thesis.
SAIC’s Master of Arts in Art Education program is an individualized, 36-credit-hour program designed for teachers, museum educators, artists, and other arts professionals designed to provide the foundation in educational theory and practice necessary for teaching and interpreting art, developing art-based curricula, and creating educational arts programming. The MAAE program also provides certified teachers currently working in schools with the opportunity to focus on advanced curricular studies through coursework and thesis research connected to their own teaching contexts.
Meet with faculty and students from the Master of Arts in Teaching and Master of Arts in Art Education programs. This is an ideal opportunity to get information prior to submitting your application for our January 15th deadline.
