Art History Minor: Teaching Art History in the High Schools

At present, our department does not offer either an art history teaching major or minor. Art history classes are offered at the secondary (high school) level either as an Advanced Placement course or integrated into humanities or honors programs. You may teach art history at the secondary level although at present there is no teaching certificate available from the Utah State Office of Education.

Currently the best preparation is to complete requirements for an art teaching composite. Studio art is considered a composite teaching major. Please contact the teacher education advising office in the Department of Teaching and Learning (142 Milton Bennion Hall; 801-581-7158) for licensure program requirements.
