The Curriculum Studies (MA/MEd) program equips you to create, assess, and adapt educational curricula and programs that support diverse learners. You'll gain the skills to design effective learning environments across various educational contexts, particularly benefiting students underserved by current systems. Licensed teachers can additionally pursue either a Teacher Leader or Computer Science endorsement to expand their Illinois Professional Educator License (PEL).
The MEd program strengthens educators' professional expertise through three specialization paths:
Curriculum Specialist
Curriculum Studies with Teacher Leader Endorsement
Curriculum Studies with Computer Science Endorsement
The MA degree option focuses on advancing research capabilities and academic writing skills for doctoral preparation. Courses are available online or on-campus at Lincoln Park, with degree completion possible within 30 months.
