Program Code: F.AAE.AFA
Graduation requirement: 60 credit hours
Students preparing to transfer to a four-year college in Art Education should be aware that to teach in Illinois public schools, teachers must be certified by the state of Illinois either by completion of an approved teacher preparation program or through transcript analysis.
To transfer as a junior into an approved baccalaureate program in art education (K-12 or 6-12), students must complete a minimum of 60 semester credit hours, including the general education courses specified to meet certification requirements. Students should plan their transfer programs with a Parkland Art and Design faculty advisor and the catalog of the four-year college or university they plan to attend. Students must also pass examinations in basic skills (reading, writing, grammar, and math) required for admission.
Students are strongly encouraged to complete an A.F.A. prior to transferring. Since admission is competitive, completion of the recommended courses does not guarantee admission.
