Overview

Although a majority of students are teachers, a teaching credential is not a requirement for admission.

The mission of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction is the preparation and continuing education of K-12 educators, particularly teachers.

Coursework and field experiences are designed to prepare teachers who are reflective thinkers, problem solvers, and decision makers to meet the challenges of teaching in a rapidly changing world characterized by social, economic, and cultural/linguistic diversity.
