The five-year Bachelor of Fine Art/Master of Arts in Teaching in Art Education program allows undergraduate students majoring in Fine Art to begin working on their dual degrees at the Freshman level, combining their undergraduate and graduate studies into a rigorous 160 total credit program. This option is an accelerated version of the traditional plan of four undergraduate years (BFA), followed by 2 graduate years for a Masters degree (MAT). Corcoran faculty are available to assist prospective students in choosing between the five-year and 6-year alternatives. Provision is made for students who decide mid-way through the 5-year program to shift to the full 6-year schedule. Like other MAT students at the Corcoran, BFA/MAT5 students complete a teaching internship and a research thesis in their graduate phase, in addition to the major achievements of the BFA in Fine Art degree during their first four years.
This BFA/MAT5 program includes museum and community-based educational training and student teaching opportunities. This prepares graduates to work in elementary and secondary classrooms, as well as in museums and community organizations and their programs. The Corcoran degree programs does not include a comprehensive examination in Education or school teaching, specifically. Most graduates who intend to pursue careers in public school teaching, where formal certification is required, will wish to inquire about relevant certification qualifications and procedures in the state where they eventually expect to reside. Procedures vary state to state. Academic advising in the 3rd 4th and 5th (final) year support students in focused career preparation in relation to this and other similar questions. Core courses in the Corcoran BFA/MAT5 are designed to prepare students for the certification requirements of the District of Columbia, with substantial and complete correspondence to current guidelines for Maryland and Virginia.
Applications for the five-year program are now being accepted for freshman and sophomore level entry. Transfer to the BFA/MAT5 after the start of the sophomore year is not general feasible, due to its compacted schema. Interested Corcoran undergraduates should take ED 2000 (“Foundations in Art Education”) during their first year, to sample the field, before deciding on a Major. Other current Corcoran students should discuss the degree program with the Program Head, in order to determine the best options in individual cases.
