Overview
The Curriculum and Instruction major is designed to produce graduates who have the knowledge, social competencies, methods, communication skills, and sensitivity to be effective in the learning environment.

They develop critical thinking skills through an analysis of educational history, philosophy and psychology; including assessment and evaluation of learning. They gain awareness of cultural diversity and the social and political contexts of education. Students must also demonstrate ability in liberal arts areas. Graduates are prepared to serve in a variety of learning settings, both public and private.
