There is a recent rule change for certification from the GaPSC.  As of July 1,  2019, students must make a B or higher in the Exceptional Children's course.  The course could be any of the following depending on your major:

SPED 2256, EDCI 6228, KINS 4245, SPED 4115, PHED 6219

This rule change will not affect your graduation but you cannot become a certified educator with the state of Georgia until you receive the grade of B or higher in this course. 

  • Other requirements are needed in order to enter the Teacher Education Program in addition to the completion of 45 earned semester hours and EDUC 2130 Exploring Learning and Teaching with a "C" or better, while maintaining a 2.5 GPA or higher.  Please see your advisor or the department administrative assistant for a list of the undergraduate Teacher Education Program requirements.
  • All BSED Majors must earn a "C" or higher in all ARTE, ARTS, and ARTH courses and students must successfully pass milestone courses (ARTS 2000 Art Foundation: Portfolio Review and ARTE 3000 Portfolio Review (BSED)).  Failure to complete either ARTS 2000 within two (2) attempts or ARTE 3000 Portfolio Review (BSED) within two (2) attempts will result in the student being removed from the BSED- Art Education program.

Admission Requirements

Students pursuing the Bachelor of Science in Education (BSEd) in Art Education must meet all admission requirements set forth by the College of Education and Health Professions (COEHP) and meet all requirements set forth by the Department of Art.

During the sophomore year as an art major, students intending to complete a teacher education program make formal application to the teacher education program. Normally, this occurs after the student has completed three semesters of full-time course work. Admission to Teacher Education is completed through TK20.  For further information please go to https://cqtl.columbusstate.edu/teacher-education.php. Students should make themselves familiar with the COEHP processes and requirements by visiting the COEHP catalog section.

Additional Program Requirements

Students must maintain a C or better in all major courses

Students must successfully complete two milestone courses (ARTS 2000 Art Foundation: Portfolio Review and ARTE 3000 Portfolio Review (BSED)). Failure to complete each of these within two attempts will result in the student being advised to choose another major.

Students must mount a professional capstone Thesis Exhibition (ARTS 4796 Art Seminar: Thesis Exhibition).

Students must complete all Teaching Requirements, which includes application for admission into the Teacher Education Program through COEHP.
