Degrees Offered

Masters (M.Ed.) in Curriculum and Instruction

Students have the option of selecting a concentration in one of the following areas:

General M.Ed. in C&I

Graduates in this option will work toward becoming an education generalist, an action researcher, and/or an education specialist in the area of their choice. Students will acquire a wide range of knowledge and skills in different theories, educational foundations, research methodologies, blended and personalized learning, or a specific content area of interest. Students will work closely with their advisor to choose courses that meet their individual needs and interests as articulated by the student.

General M.Ed. for Dual Credit Credential

Graduates in this option will aim to be credentialed to teach dual-credit courses in high school. Graduates of this program will have 18 hours of "core C&I" work, and an additional 18 hours taken in the content area where the student hopes to teach the dual credit courses. For example, if the student wants to teach dual credit mathematics courses, the student would take 18 hours in C&I, and an additional 18 hours from the Mathematics & Statistics Department or English Department. Students will work closely with their advisor to choose courses that meet the needs of the student.
