Art Education Diploma 

A small component of our overall program in art education is the faculty commitment to in-servicing art teachers. Whenever possible, faculty encourage practicing teachers to upgrade their qualifications by returning to UBC for additional courses. Students choosing to take an Art Education diploma must take 18 credits of courses in art education numbered 300 or above, with the remaining 12 credits coming from any approved courses in the Faculties of Arts and/or Education.

Diploma students take any of the courses in art education listed below:

Core Courses: (18 credits)

  • ARTE 303 (6) Ceramics in Art Education 

  • ARTE 305 (6) Design in Art Education 
    The first two courses listed above also point to the collegial relationship between the Visual Arts program and the Art Education program. These courses are open to fine arts students wishing to explore ceramics and textile design, both of which are unavailable to them in the Visual Arts Department in the Arts Faculty.

  • ARTE 400 (2-6) Studies in Art Education Studio Area (a directed studies course) 

  • ARTE 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 425, 426, 441, EDCP 321, EDCP 322

Elective Courses: (12 credits)

  • Approved courses in the Faculties of Arts or Education numbered 300 or above

Visual and Performing Arts in Education Diploma

Diploma students may wish to take a Visual and Performing Arts in Education program in which case students take courses from three of the four arts disciplines. Should a student choose art as one focus, he/she is required to take from 6-22 credits in art education out of the total program of 30 credits.

The diploma program in visual and performing arts in education may be just the kind of cross-disciplinary or integrated approach you have been looking for. It is designed to achieve breadth in the arts by offering combinations of art, dance, drama, and music courses. Students select courses from at least three of these arts or arts education areas (for a total of 30 credits). Choose from all of the art and music education courses listed in the previous descriptions (see above and Music Education) and round these experiences out with courses in dance and/or drama education.

Courses that are available in dance include PHYS. ED 340 "Popular Dance and Culture" and PHYS. ED 343 "Dance for Children." Or if you prefer, consider courses in drama education such as ENGLISH EDUCATION 335 "Drama in Education," or EDUCATION 435 "Advanced Studies in English Education."

For those who are interested, a wide variety of Theatre courses may be accessed through the Department of Theatre and Film. Any 300 level or higher courses may be taken in the Theatre department. Topics cover a range of possibilities including speech and movement, scenery, set design, costume design, direction, acting, stage management and film studies.

You can take an interesting combination of courses in Art, Drama, Music and Dance Education to create a unique, fully integrated diploma.
