Program description

The curriculum and instruction graduate program offers a variety of graduate-level courses in all curricular areas with specific emphasis upon trends and recent developments in practice, theory, and research. These courses are offered on-campus, at selected off-campus sites, or via distance learning.

This program supports the following degrees: the master of science in curriculum and instruction, the doctor of education in curriculum and instruction, and the doctor of philosophy in curriculum and instruction.
