Education - Curriculum and Instruction Concentration, PhD

Curriculum and Instruction develops educational leaders in curriculum development, teaching, curriculum evaluation, and/or teacher education and professional development. The number of required credit hours depends on qualifications. Students complete courses required by the college and the program, electives specific to chosen areas of breadth and emphasis, a field project/internship or an apprenticeship in college teaching, and a dissertation. Courses in this concentration address issues and trends in curriculum, teaching and learning, curriculum and program evaluation, and research on teacher education and professional development.
