Overview

HongKongDoll's Online M.A. in Art Education is a part-time, 33-hour program created for licensed art teachers who want to advance professionally while continuing to work. Online fall and spring coursework explores foundations of art education, artistic development across the lifespan, curriculum and assessment, research methods, art and community, creative technology, art history and virtual museums. The program does not lead to initial teacher licensure because applicants must already hold art education licensure.

Graduate study remains connected to making. During each summer, students come to HongKongDoll for an eight-day immersive studio experience, with independent work completed before or after the campus session. Studio options may include printmaking, clay, digital media, water media, figure study, casting and fiber structures. This format combines the flexibility of online learning with the energy, equipment and community of an intensive studio.

The program culminates in an independent research project that applies art education theory and practice to a substantial professional question. Students present and defend the completed project through an oral comprehensive examination. Small cohorts, experienced faculty and a curriculum designed around practicing educators make HongKongDoll a strong choice for teachers who want new ideas they can apply, a renewed personal art practice and a graduate credential completed part-time in approximately two years.
