The Mission of the Program


The Art Education Program at The University of
New Mexico prepares art professionals to meet the
needs of diverse populations in the state and nation.
The program supports art professionals in
their examination of multiple approaches to art
education; these include, but are not limited
to image-focused, discipline-based, and issues-based
art education as well as visual culture.

The undergraduate program educates students
toward becoming reflective art teachers who
can encourage students to create artworks in response
to life experiences. The graduate program, culminating in
a Master of Arts in Art Education degree, supports
students with a wide range of interests. Students can

focus their investigations on making and studying art in cultural, social, and historical contexts. We believe that studying and making imagery is a life-long pursuit for art professionals working in our diverse and visually complex society.
