Please do not do the post-baccalaureate art education program. My education there was poor, and the main teachers were awful. Overall I got very little in the way of theory and pedagogy. Mostly it was a lot of field work without the knowledge to back what I was doing. Also, It doesn't count toward a master's degree; save your money and do that.
