Curriculum & Instruction, with Licensure
Do you already have a bachelor's degree in some other field, but believe that you would like to now get a teaching license? Our Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction plus licensure concentration is ideal for you!
This concentration allows you to get licensure plus a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction in as little as 18 months (depending on licensure area and previous coursework).
Note: This concentration is a hybrid of our M.S. in Education, Curriculum and Instruction concentration with our undergraduate licensure programs. This means that you will be taking some graduate courses just for the master’s degree, some graduate courses for licensure (those that are the equivalent of undergraduate level licensure courses), as well as licensure courses at the undergraduate level (part of our state-approved licensure programs).
All the licensures below involve taking (or having taken in previous coursework) "content area courses."
ELEMENTARY PREK-6
Graduate students do not select a content area.
MIDDLE EDUCATION (6-8)
You must choose one of the following content areas for licensure:
- Science
- Social Studies
- English
- Math
SECONDARY EDUCATION (6-12)
You must choose one of the following content areas for licensure:
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Earth and Space Science
- English
- Math
- Physics
- Science
- Social Studies
Similar to the curriculum and instruction (no licensure) route, you will have some element of choice over courses you take. Although, many of the choices will be made for you due to also seeking licensure, which requires certain specific courses.
Just like the curriculum and instruction (no licensure) route, to earn the degree, you must also pass comprehensive written and oral examinations. You will have a choice of the following for the written portion:
- Portfolio
- Written exam
- Scholarly research
