The School of Fine Arts at The University of
Montana is pleased to present the eighteenth annual summer Creative
Pulse Arts and Education Graduate Program for educators and education
administrators. The program is specifically designed to develop Master
Teachers in the Arts and Humanities, but not limited to those areas.
The Creative Pulse has had a long and successful history
since its initial offering in 1990. The core philosophies and content
areas that have served as the foundation of the program have been
based in fundamental processes and theories of teaching and learning
such as: The Multiple Intelligences, Critical and Creative Thinking,
Human Growth and Development, Cultural influences on Teaching and
Learning, Integrated Learning and Assessment, Teaching as a Designed
Experience and Leadership in the Arts and Education.
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
degree in Integrated Arts and Education. Whether students take courses
individually or apply to the degree program, all students must be
admitted to The University of Montana Graduate School; early application
is advised.
A full master’s program takes two consecutive summers (five
weeks each summer in residence), along with independent studies which
include a credited field project and a final creative project.
Students enroll in two major components:
1) The Core Academic Program consisting of five one-week graduate
seminars each summer.
2) The Studio Program consisting of personal performances, practicums,
presentations to work, “hands-on” with practicing artists
in order to develop additional areas of artistic expression.
