Does anyone know of an art school that is accredited that offers an online degree, or possibly a bachelors in art ed? Cindy
Tough one... An art school BA, poss in art ed. Your qestion is a tough one. The central issue is how independently d o you want your study to be? I best Ohio University's external progrma has handled such requests before--but I'm speaking without first hand info. Syracuse has a great MA program in Art Illustration-- perhaps they would accomodate a BA in Liberal Studies that is very similar. Charter Oak State College offers a BA in Applied (Studio) Art--at low cost. Again, precisely how you fullfil (sp?) the studio requirements,,,? Perhaps a call or email to their very helpful staff eould clarify your options. The problem with Suduio Arts is like the hard sciences-- lab components are performance requirements; these cannot be standardized! There are portfolio options, but what if one need guidance, development, best done under a mentor? Another external degree program is Bemiji State University (State of Minnesota); they do a lot of teacher training, and may have an art ed program to draw upon... Likewise, the University of Wisconsin System has schools that do external degrees oriented towards teaher training (UW-Superior, UW-Green Bay). Have you examined THE authority? Bear's Guide To Non-Traditional Degrees? You coul follow up with an author query at degree.net (he's on this board, too). Good luck! --Orson
