Program Description:

Plymouth State University's programs in Integrated Arts are designed for classroom teachers, visual and performing artists, and arts and media specialists who want to enhance their professional development and learn how incorporate the arts into educational, cultural, human services, and recreational settings.
Through workshops, practicum experiences, international study, and summer institutes, you'll participate in a variety of coursework tailored to your individual goals and personal and professional interests. The integrative component of this program explores the value and implications of the arts in society, as well as the arts integration process itself.
You can study the integrated arts as part of a Master of Education in Elementary or Secondary Education; your elective coursework can include arts electives designed specifically for elementary or secondary educators.
Your curriculum will consist of three core courses required of every PSU Master of Education candidate; two courses focusing on learning theory; a series of required courses and electives on art and its integration; and, finally, a graduate practicum experience in which you'll put theory into practice in this capstone component of your studies.
