GRADUATE DEGREE

CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION DEGREE PROGRAM (M.S.)

The Master of Science (M.S.) Degree program in Curriculum and Instruction provides individuals with advanced academic work focused on improving teaching and learning. The degree is designed to blend knowledge of content with knowledge of teaching and learning throughout all course work and within the culminating experience, either an integrative project or a thesis. This degree builds from a common core of knowledge and then allows a degree of specialization in an emphasis of special interest to the individual. Emphases include:

Health, Physical Education, and Coaching: This emphasis is designed to enhance teachers knowledge and skill related to health, physical education, and/or coaching.

The curriculum varies according to the academic emphases. In general, the Curriculum and Instruction program is designed to assist students in applying a deeper under-standing of educational issues, trends, and philosophies of education to their environment. Students will develop skills in identifying and using authentic, valid and reliable techniques of assessment, and develop skills useful in analyzing and solving problems that arise in contemporary educational settings.
