Welcome back everyone! Visit our area site called UFARE 2.0 on Ning. New students should register on the site, explore it, and design a personal page to share with everyone. Also, check out our area Spot on Digication.

This site includes information on our BA and MA programs in art education, faculty bios, photos of recent activities in the area, a list of frequently-asked questions, photos of past events, and links to sites of special interest to art education students and faculty.
