The Certificate in the College Teaching of Art is earned by graduate students who have completed the following 3 requirements:

1. Successful completion of three Graduate Teaching Internships (GTI ).
2. Successful completion of the course Philosophy & Pedagogy of Post-secondary Visual Arts Education, a 3-credit graduate seminar.
3. Two completed Google form recommendations (link on the web) from two of the graduate students’ GTI mentoring faculty.

If all the above requirements are met, graduate MFA students will earn the Certificate in the College Teaching of Art. A notation representing the successful completion of the certificate will appear on students’ official transcripts and in the graduation ceremony program.

Note: MFACA students complete a community-based teaching experience that is built into their program. Therefore MFACA students need only complete two MICA GTI s to qualify for the Certificate in the College Teaching of Art in addition to the Philosophy & Pedagogy course.
