  • teaching licensure/certification in art;
  • completion of 38 semester hours of graduate credit, including 18 semester hours of studio and art history in a ratio of two to one (either 12 semester hours of graduate credit in studio and 6 in art history, or 6 in studio and 12 in art history), 8 semester hours in graduate seminars in art education, and 12 semester hours to be specified after the student begins the program; and

Art education majors who elect to do a studio thesis and who have not had drawing at The University of Iowa are required to take at least one drawing course, chosen from the school's regularly scheduled drawing courses, during the first year in residence.

Art education majors may elect to take art history courses on a satisfactory-unsatisfactory basis.
