Master of Arts: Curriculum and Instruction
The Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction degree program provides an essential opportunity for practicing teachers in Northern and Upper Michigan as well as in Northern Ontario, to enrich their understanding of, and improve their skills in, pedagogy, curriculum design, and assessment within the context of their discipline specific content knowledge. The degree provides a framework for securing a rigorous plan of study focused on the professional development needs of practicing teachers. The degree program allows both elementary and secondary masters degree candidates the opportunity to develop a graduate plan of study that strengthens their teaching practices and address student learning in their classrooms.
Professional Development and Certificate/Licensure Renewal
The School of Education offers graduate-level courses for professional development and certificate renewal. Admission to the graduate degree program is not required for enrollment in courses used for certificate renewal or ongoing training. Approved graduate courses taken for professional development or certificate renewal may later be used to meet the requirements of the graduate degree within the limitations of program policies. In addition, the department offers non-matriculated graduate credits (900-level) for professional development and certificate renewal which will not directly apply to the graduate degree program without completing the addition requirements of a graduate seminar (EDUC 635) for one semester credit.
