Art Across Curriculum

Art Across Curriculum (AAC) programs are designed to both offer educators a menu of enrichment options, and to train university students studying education to integrate the visual arts into their classroom curricula. As a unit of Marquette University, The Haggerty Museum of Art fully embraces Ignatian Pedagogy (IP) in our teaching methods. IP is a practical teaching framework that creates opportunities for personal and cooperative study, discovery, creativity, and reflection to foster lifelong learners.

AAC program costs vary. Please email Kay Antonelli, Art Across Curriculum Educator, at kay.antonelli@marquette.edu if you would like to receive information about scholarship options. Our programs are supported by generous donors.
