Requirements for studio art with K-12 Art Education Certification, specialization in graphic design
The art education program at Oakland University is an extended program of study leading to K-12 certification in art. This program is offered in conjunction with the Secondary Teacher Education Program (STEP) in the School of Education and Human Services. Generally, eligibility for admission to the program requires a GPA of 3.00 in the major, and an overall GPA of 2.80. No single course grade may be below a C (2.0).

A maximum of 16 transfer credits may be used toward the major, in addition to the required 12 corequisite credits.
