Students who are interested in doctoral studies often pursue a Master of Arts degree to further hone their skills in research and scholarly writing.

A Master of Arts degree is distinguished by the preparation of a master’s thesis. The master’s thesis provides the culminating experience for students and allows them to explore the relationship between theory, educational practice, and educational inquiry.

Students will be able to:

• Understand major movements in curriculum history and connect them to current educational practices and controversies.
• Analyze the theoretical foundations of curriculum and curriculum studies.
• Undertake independent inquiry supported by appropriate research literature, methods, and theoretical frameworks.
• Understand curriculum as a profession, maintain standards of professional conduct, and provide leadership to honor diverse perspectives, improve curriculum and promote student learning and well-being.
