The Master of Education Program in Curriculum and Teaching reflects teaching and learning in the 21st Century and is designed to enhance curricular innovation and teaching practices necessary for master teachers. Coursework, field-based experiences, and a final project or thesis are designed to develop and extend abilities to facilitate learning for students.  The required twelve credit hours of electives offers choice in selecting a certificate or endorsement program from a menu of contemporary offerings or designing one’s own curricular focus.  This choice equips candidates with research and skills applicable to today’s classrooms. 

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Master’s degree, students in the Curriculum and Teaching program are expected to be able to:

  • Assess and support multiple perspectives regarding issues and trends in curriculum and instruction.
  • Compile related research and adapt best practices in the classroom.
  • Perform teaching that integrates theory with practice in the classroom.
  • Adapt and initiate current technology in the classroom.

Admission Requirements

International applicants are required to submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTEA). Successful completion of ELS 112 will also be accepted for this requirement. 

Additionally, Duolingo test scores will be accepted for applications through Summer 2025. Applicants of the Graduate College who have completed a previous degree (associate, bachelor’s master’s or doctorate) from a U.S. college/university or are from a country (click here for a complete list) in which instruction was delivered in English (and attended the university for at least two years) are exempt from providing these test scores.
