Arts education...

So, it's been a year since I've been in Phoenix and I've been pretty stressed about work.  It really made me realize that I need to get back to doing what I love...which is art...and traveling.  But let's just focus on the art right now.  

I'm looking into starting a Master of Art in Arts Education, this will allow me to teach art...which is my lifelong goal (to become an art professor).  I will be looking at online program for now, my two main schools are University of Nebraska and University of Florida.  I may also consider Boston University but I'm not too sure.  Most of the colleges have a required 1 week session, which I am looking forward to (this is why I'm considering Boston, because I love the city).  University of Nebraska is the frontrunner because I started the application process in 2010 and I am still in contact with the professor that runs the program.  The program is usually 1 year and I will still try and complete my MBA (as long as I'm with the company). 

After this I am going to try to teach some and then look into a PhD in Arts Education or Art History.  Art History will be harder because I have to know at least 2 other languages and one has to be a romance language.  The plus is that most universities will accept German in the place of a romance language.  I'm so glad I took some German in college, so I will be looking for German classes in the area and hopefully they will accept Farsi as a second one.   If I can get a intermediate level in these languages I may go for a romance language.

The PhD in art history is not set in stone and things will change.  So right now I am focusing on the MA in Arts Education and looking in volunteer opportunities in the area.   I'm hoping to stick to these plans because I need to find a career that I really enjoy and can grow in.
