Curriculum & Teaching (M.A.)

专业详情

The Master of Arts in Curriculum and Teaching (MA-CURR) is a home for students and faculty inspired to take up vigorous, critical, equity-oriented study of curriculum, pedagogy, and issues in education from a variety of perspectives. The 32-point program provides students a core of common experiences, driving questions, and shared challenges, within a flexible individualized program of study designed to further their more focused needs, interests, and professional aims.

The MA-CURR is designed for early and mid-career educators with a range of experiences in a diversity of formal and informal learning contexts who wish to deepen their knowledge, skill, and vision as teachers, educational leaders, and developers of curriculum. Coursework prepares educators to be intellectually curious and active contributors to the betterment of education. Graduates of the program work professionally as teachers, coaches, mentors, cooperating teachers, non-profit leaders, museum educators, community-based educators, and activists, among other roles in schools, organizations, and communities.

The M.A. in Curriculum and Teaching is designed so that it can be completed by full time students in four semesters (summer, fall, spring, summer). This calls for careful planning and advisement, and some flexibility. While program completion in three semesters is possible, it is not recommended. A four semester timeline allows students to deeply engage in coursework and take the time to fully benefit from the rich experiences and community offered by a Teachers College education. The program may also be taken part time, in multiple configurations. Please contact us for questions about scheduling.
