Introduction
Students in the Art Education program must earn a 3.0-grade point average in their education courses and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 at the time of application for student teaching.
The Michigan Teacher Certification Regulations require that students take forty (40) credit hours of general or liberal education. These courses are intended to serve the same purpose as Siena Heights University\’s Liberal Arts Studies, that is, to ensure that a prospective teacher has some background in each of the traditional academic disciplines.
Education at SHU focuses on education in its broadest vision. We believe teaching is both an art and a science. Students are encouraged to explore various aspects of the teaching/learning process, in addition to the formal preparation required for teaching.
Through rigorous academic study, clinical experience hours, and continuous reflection on one’s evolving philosophy of education, the Siena Heights education student not only learns from those who have gone before but creates imaginative and innovative learning activities that will inspire prospective students to wholeheartedly engage in the learning process.
Accreditation
Siena Heights University’s Division of Education was granted national accreditation by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) for the full seven years, from Spring 2020 to Spring 2027. This accreditation certifies the forenamed professional initial certification programs have provided evidence of meeting all CAEP’s standards.
