Art education.
The Department of Art’s BA in Art Education provides a liberal arts program of study while preparing students as teachers of the visual arts. Completion of this NASAD-accredited program leads to certification as an art teaching specialist in the State of Maine, grades K-12, as well as preparing students for employment in a variety of community-based sites where formalized art instruction occurs. Many students go on to further study at the graduate level.
The curriculum includes coursework in the social and behavioral sciences, arts and humanities, and natural sciences and mathematics, as well as in focus areas of the visual arts and education. Study in the visual arts includes 15 credits in Art Education, 40 credits in Studio Art (34 in required courses, 6 in electives); and 18 credits in Art History. In addition, students are required to complete 15-24 credits of professional education coursework, including the capstone experience. To complete the 120 total credits required for graduation, Art Education students may need to take 6-9 credits of overload coursework (e.g., over 15 credits during a semester or a course or courses during summer sessions). Students completing the BA in Art Education also receive minors in Studio Art and Art History.
The Art Education program learning outcomes are divided into four strands:
Through the completion of the BA in Art Education, students will be competent in the Maine Common Core Teaching Standards and be able to:
1. Learner and Learning
2. Content Knowledge
3. Professional Responsibility
4. Technology
The BA in Art Education leads to K-12 Art Certification in the State of Maine. For questions about requirements and other paths to art certification, visit http://www.maine.gov/education/cert/ . The courses needed to fulfill these requirements are available at the University of Maine through the Department of Art and the College of Education and Human Development. To find out more information about courses that satisfy art certification requirements for the State of Maine, contact Dr. Constant Albertson .
During the two required curriculum courses, all art education students participate in an early teaching experience in the Art Education laboratory school, ArtWorks. This program offers our students an opportunity to work with K-8 students within the context of a controlled teaching environment. Within a supportive practicum structure, Art Education students develop and teach lessons on the processes, cultural and historical contexts, and critical analysis of diverse forms of art and visual/material culture. They receive considerable feedback on their classroom engagement and complete self-evaluation forms in an effort to encourage critical self-reflection on all aspects of their teaching experience.
Most graduating Art Education students become certified K-12 art teachers. Graduates teach in many of the K-12 schools in Maine as well as in other states around the country. Other graduates have gone on to work in museum education or in community programs. Many graduates pursue graduate work in art education, studio art, and art history, completing masters and doctoral-level work in an array of related areas.

Africa Hands, assistant professor in the Department of Information Science
Published August 15, 2024
Ub scholar secures prestigious grant to study workplace experiences of first-generation bipoc lis professionals.
In an effort to bridge the gap in workplace equity and representation, a University at Buffalo Graduate School of Education researcher has secured a $493,910 grant from the Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program. The program funds projects that tackle essential challenges in the library and archives fields, aiming to enhance professional practices and improve library and archival services for the American public.
Africa Hands , assistant professor in the Department of Information Science, will study the unique challenges and cultural strengths of first-generation Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) professionals in the library and information science (LIS) field.
Collaborating with not-for-profit research and consulting service Ithaka S+R, Hands will lead the three-year project, “LIS First-Generation Professionals: Workplace Barriers and Cultural Assets.” This study aims to uncover the often overlooked hurdles these professionals face and highlight the strategies they use to thrive in their careers.
“We know from research that the general workplace experiences of first-generation students can be a little challenging… There’s a hidden curriculum of the job and the workplace. They may meet barriers in terms of navigating that. Sometimes, they have less cultivated career capital. They struggle to find their first position. Some of them didn’t have an opportunity to have internships that give them [professional] experience,” said Hands. “So, we know these things about first-generation students as a whole. But there has not been much concentrated research done on first-generation graduate students, or first-gen graduate students in library and information science.”
The project will employ a multi-method approach to address two key research questions: What are the workplace challenges of LIS first-generation professionals? What strategies and cultural assets do these professionals employ to navigate and succeed in LIS workplaces?
“Public libraries serve diverse communities, but the makeup of librarians who work in libraries is around 80% white women. There are initiatives to address this so that the workforce is more reflective of the communities they’re serving,” Hands said.
“I think it’s really important to focus on first-generation professionals—who encompass a lot of different marginalized identities,” she continued. “We need to know their experiences to hopefully retain them in the workplace so that we can have more inclusive workplaces that are more reflective of the community.”
Through focus groups and written narratives, the research will amplify this under-examined population and provide actionable insights for graduate programs, professional associations, managers and current LIS professionals.
“Dr. Hands’ project is significant because it addresses the unique challenges faced by BIPOC first-generation professionals in library and information science workplaces. By investigating their experiences and strategies for success, the findings will not only inform graduate programs and professional associations but also drive cultural and environmental changes within LIS workplaces to better support these professionals,” said X. Christine Wang , professor and associate dean for interdisciplinary research. “This project further demonstrates the GSE’s breadth and depth of expertise in promoting equity and inclusivity in education and LIS spaces.”
The findings from this research will be widely disseminated through the project’s website, Ithaka S+R’s website and various library worker organizations. An innovative open-access eBook will also share participants’ lived experiences.
This project builds on Hands’ already robust research activities. She recently won the ALISE Research Grant Program Competition, which funded her project, “Positioning LIS Students for Career Success.”
“I’m really looking forward to extending my interests in career services and going into this next study on first-generation professionals,” said Hands. “I’ve been interested in career services for a number of years, so I’m excited to really be diving into it with these two projects.”

ASCP, a member of the Graduate Medical Education Advocacy Coalition (GMEAC), has joined 50 other medical societies in responding to a recent initiative from the Congressional Bipartisan Medicare Graduate Medical Education (GME) Working Group. The Working Group recently released a draft framework for Congress’s review and revision of current federal GME policies.
In its outline, the Working Group states, “It has become clear that there are not enough physicians to meet the health care needs of Americans.” The federal Health Resources and Services Administration, it notes, states that “there will be a shortage of 139,940 physicians across all specialties by 2036.” “Congress can act to address these shortages by increasing the number of Medicare-supported residency positions in teaching hospitals,” targeting key specialties, the proposal reports.
The Coalition’s letter provided support for increasing the number of Medicare GME slots to address projected physician shortages. ASCP and others wrote, “While numerous policy solutions are needed to sustain and bolster the physician workforce, increased Medicare support for GME is a key component to stabilizing the workforce expansion. With demand for physicians continuing to outpace supply as both the patient population and physician workforce age, it is critical now more than ever that Congress build on recent bipartisan efforts and invest in training more physicians.”
In addition, the Coalition letter urged Congress to make changes to the distribution formula used by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for future distributions, targeting slots to specific specialties and/or regions of need, and improving outreach and technical assistance for rural teaching hospitals to ensure all facilities have sufficient lead-time to apply for GME-funded slots.
