Our approach involves promoting and modeling innovative, ethical, and research-based practices while embracing principles of inclusion and social justice.
Focus of Study
The philosophical foundation of the Masters's Degree in Curriculum & Instruction is designed to provide professional educators with increased knowledge of current research on teaching and learning and its contexts and to apply that research in practice.
Students within the Curriculum & Instruction graduate degree program have the opportunity to focus on an area of interest to develop increased skills and knowledge in that area.
Specialization Track Options
- Instructional Technology
- Alternative Licensure: Students enrolled in the ALP graduate certificate but who later decide not to pursue licensure may complete the general MA in Curriculum & Instruction by counting ALP core courses toward their cognate and/or electives and completing the rest of the MA core.
