We design our masters degrees for teachers curriculum to be timely, relevant, and practical—all to ensure your degree is proof you really know your stuff.

Every course in the masters in Curriculum and Instruction online program focuses on a set of clearly defined competencies that you must prove you’ve learned—through a set group of assessments (text questions, applications, journaling, research and essay evaluation).
That means that what you learn will be directly applicable in your classroom—and in fueling your students’ success. It’s all about practical approaches and real-world applicability so every moment spent studying is time well spent.

You can expect to gain competencies in curriculum design and evaluation, as well as develop and improve methods and materials central to educational instruction. Courses are designed to help students improve their understanding of the myriad uses and benefits of technology in education; explore and leverage emerging trends in education; become more collaborative leaders in and outside of the classroom; and ultimately improve student and community outcomes.

Online instruction is designed to emulate the experience you would have if you chose to attend classes in a traditional campus environment. It includes opportunities to interact with faculty and collaborate with classmates.
