The Arts Integration Institute focuses on professional development for educators. Its Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Arts Integration (PBC-AI) provides an interdisciplinary approach to arts in education, pairing the arts with non-arts disciplines and incorporating a variety of art forms (Art, Theatre, Dance, Music, Electronic Media and Film) as they apply to teaching through the arts in Maryland's PreK-12 schools. This program works cooperatively with the AEMS (Arts Education in Maryland Schools) Alliance to advocate for more opportunities for teaching and learning in and through the arts at all Maryland schools.

The Post-Baccalaureate Certificate program is consistent with Towson University's mission to provide programs that enhance the teaching skills and professional development of educators.

Teachers will demonstrate an understanding and knowledge of the complex meanings of arts integration and proficiency in linking them with the Maryland State Curriculum.
Teachers will demonstrate the ability to employ principles and elements of all four arts disciplines to introduce learners to the methodologies and interrelationships among art forms, as well as to increase comfort level and appreciation for the importance of the arts as core to a complete education.
Teachers will demonstrate the ability to marshal the creativity and critical thinking inherent in the arts to motivate students both in the arts and in other academic areas.
