Curriculum & Instruction Master of Arts
The 45-quarter-hour master of arts (MA) in Curriculum & Instruction (C&I) is individually planned in accordance with a student's background and career goals. Most students prepare for traditional and non-traditional positions in education that require planning, consulting, research, curriculum development, evaluation, and policy-making.
In addition to attracting students interested in public schools, we also offer professional training and intellectual engagement that supports students interested in the areas of curriculum development for public and private sectors, non-profit and for-profit education centers, and cultural institutions. Small seminars, independent projects, and specialized courses offer additional opportunities for an individualized and well-rounded master's program.
Certificate in Gifted Education
Students enrolled in the master's degree program have the option of obtaining a concentration in gifted education for a total of 46 quarter hours. Students who complete the concentration in gifted education will participate in courses and practicum experiences aimed at developing professionals who are well-equipped to meet the needs of gifted students in a variety of educational environments. Completion of the concentration will be noted on students' transcripts. In addition, students who successfully complete the concentration will be recommended for the Gifted Education Specialist endorsement offered through the Colorado Department of Education.
