Curriculum and Instruction Program
The graduate program in Curriculum and Instruction offers concentrations to support teachers and preK-12+ educational professionals to design, implement, and evaluate the processes of curriculum and instruction. Students may customize their own personalized sequence of 18 semester hours, selecting courses from among any area of graduate study, or they may develop a content area concentration.
Through coursework, field-experiences, and interactions with peers and faculty, students gain expertise in understanding key content area concepts, in designing and evaluating curriculum, in making sound instructional decisions that accommodate diverse learner needs, in clarifying and reflecting on the relationship between assumptions and practices, and in engaging in inquiry to integrate theory and practice. Graduates of the program are prepared to apply their understanding and skills in their own professional practice as well as to assume an active role in advocating for productive change in the broader educational community.
