The word must be out about Marygrove’s Social Work Program, because the number of new majors this fall has increased approximately 28 percent since 2007. This is good news for graduates, as social work jobs, particularly in medicine and public health, are considered among the 50 best careers of 2010 by U.S. News & World Report, with strong growth predicted on a national scale over the next decade. So, if you want an interesting career path, join an elite group of professionals who are known for being anything but elitist: enroll at Marygrove and Be Prepared to Get Involved.

You must be admitted to the Teacher Education program through the Education Department if you are seeking K-12 certification.

As a student in the teacher certification program, you must meet the same standards as other art majors and you must fulfill the requirements of the state in which you plan to teach. Consult the Education Department to learn more about state requirements and an art advisor to plan your major. Refer to the teacher certification section of this catalog for more information.

An art major can prepare you for a career in the teach­ing of art in elementary, intermediate and secondary education through admission to the Teacher Certifica­tion Program and successful completion of program requirements.

Upon completion of the studio (53 studio credits), art history (12 credits), general education requirements for graduation, and the course work in the certification program (art education and professional education requirements), you are eligible to be recommended by Marygrove College to the State of Michigan for a Provisional Teaching of Art (K-12) certificate.

If you plan to teach outside of Michigan, consult with education and art education advisors for other state requirements.

Teaching is an especially demanding, yet particularly rewarding profession. Few careers ask so much of a person’s character and creativity, and few professions give as much satisfaction in return. Teacher certification provides professional opportunities for teaching in public, parochial, and private schools, grades K-12.
