The Creative and Fine Arts Department at the University of New England offers the bachelor of arts degree in art education. A commitment to liberal arts is the foundation for the Art Education Program. The Creative Arts enhance the quality of our lives through the experience of gallery and museum exhibitions, theater, music and dance performance. The art major is an ideal marriage between the phantasmagoric and the practical. It fosters an appreciation of the artistic process and mastery of technical skills while simultaneously establishing the fundamentals for a career in education.

The Fine Arts Department at UNE is staffed by a community of professional artists with national reputations. The faculty nurture and encourage students' individual growth, development and expression. Students are challenged to become technically and visually fluent in the language of the visual arts. After a firm grounding in the foundations, students are guided in finding and developing their personal artistic vision.

The graduate with a B.A. in art education will not only be able to impart knowledge of art at an appropriate intellectual level, but will be a trained professional artist in his/her own right. The graduate will become a conduit of the art experience to not only future students, but to parents, other educators and to the community at large.
