The Ed.M. degree can be pursued in either the Curriculum and Instruction program or in the Language, Literacy, and Technology program. Below is a description of each program, admission requirements and the application process.
CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION
The non-thesis Ed.M. degree with a specialization in Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) focuses on advancing teachers’ or other professionals’ depth of knowledge in K-12 education. Candidates can opt for either a general emphasis encompassing core curricular areas or choose to focus on a specific area such as Science and Mathematics Education, Instructional Leaders, Diverse Leaners, or Program Development and Design. The required coursework for the C&I degree emphasizes both theoretical and practical issues in K-12 curriculum and instruction.
The degree in Curriculum and Instruction does not lead to a teaching endorsement.
