Curriculum and Instruction
Overview
This graduate program is undergoing restructuring to improve impact and sustainability. The department is phasing out specialized learning opportunities in adult continuing education, social justice and STEM education. However, students can still take advantage of the newly developed Master of Science in Education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction.
The Master of Science in Education with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction provides practicing teachers with the opportunity to develop deeper understanding of the technical and contextual needs of teaching and learning for today’s classrooms. Courses provide students with the knowledge and praxis of educational strategies, classroom-deployable research design, data analysis, and evaluation to transform the lives of learners. Leveraging decades of practitioner-oriented research and praxis, the program serves educators throughout their developmental journey.
