MEd, Curriculum and Instruction

A graduate student majoring in curriculum and instruction may become a candidate for the degree of Master of Education (MEd). This non-thesis degree is offered in both an online and on-campus delivery method. The on-campus MEd requires the satisfactory completion of a comprehensive final examination. The online MEd requires either the satisfactory completion of a final examination or the completion of a capstone course that serves as an approved substitution for the final examination.

This program also approved for delivery via asynchronous distance education technology, with the exception of a few Reading Specialist courses that have synchronous delivery requirements in order to satisfy certification outcomes.

The Curriculum and Instruction PhD program provides foundational instruction in education history, language acquisition & literacy theory, teaching & learning philosophy and research methodologies, preparing graduates for leadership, research and teaching roles in education across academia, government agencies, foundations and international organizations, and the private sector.
