UM School of Fine Arts

The School of Fine Arts at The University of Montana is pleased to present the eighteenth annual five-week summer Creative Pulse Arts in Education graduate program for educators and education administrators. The program is specifically designed for K-12 teachers in the arts and the humanities.

The program features guest faculty, a resident core faculty, and a varied curriculum. The core philosophies and focal content areas which serve as the foundation of the graduate program are: Multiple Intelligences; Exploration in Cognitive Processes and Human Development; Leadership and Articulation; Integrated Learning; and Assessment and the Arts.

Students may take the ten one-week sessions individually or may enroll in the entire program and work toward a Master of Arts in Fine Arts, Integrated Arts and Education degree. This degree is designed to develop a master teacher. Whether students take courses individually, with no degree in mind, or apply to the degree program, all students must be admitted to The University of Montana. Early application is advised.

Students enroll in two major components.
1) The Core Academic Program consists of five one-week courses.
2) The Apprenticeship Program provides each student the opportunity to work with an individual artist to develop additional areas of expertise in the arts. Teachers accepted into the program are expected to have some training and experience in one of the arts or humanities.

*A full master's program normally takes two summers in residence (five weeks each summer),
with additional creative projects.

To receive more information on the admission criteria or to initiate the application process for this degree, please call, email, or send a letter of intent to:
