Curriculum and Instruction

Our Curriculum and Instruction programs offer Masters and Doctoral degrees that explore and critically examine learning and teaching within traditional and non-traditional learning environments spanning the course of life. Faculty and students collaborate in scholarly inquiry to achieve scholarly excellence in the investigation, design, and implementation of curricula.
