Retention and Advanced Standing
(Graduate Level)
Students in art education who expect to meet state teacher licensure requirements
must apply for advanced standing prior
to the semester in which they register
for student teaching. To apply, students
must submit to the art education faculty
information about grade point average,
personal goals, and self-analysis of performance
in the program up to the point of
evaluation. Art education faculty may (1)
accept a student for advanced standing;
(2) accept a student with reservation, with
a remedial plan; or (3) reject a student
and recommend a career change.
A 3.0 cumulative grade point average is required to enter student teaching as well as a total of 300 contact hours of clinical field-based experience as required by the
State of Ohio.
A 3.0 grade point average must be maintained in all professional education
courses and an overall G.P.A. of 3.0
is required to be recommended by the
university’s Director of Teacher Licensure
for State Teacher Licensure.
Completion of the Master of Arts degree exists separately from the assurance that State of Ohio Visual Art Teacher Certificationwill be awarded. The State of Ohio
requires a passing score on the National
Teacher Examination, fingerprinting with
a criminal background check by the Ohio
Bureau of Criminal Identification, in addition
to the requirements stated above.
All M.A. degree candidates are required to present a documented thesis exhibition
in the program’s gallery of their art work
prior to graduation.
