Overview

Program Tracks

The Education - Curriculum and Instruction program at the University of Colorado at Boulder offers the following tracks:

Humanities Education Track

This track is designed to support teachers and other education professionals who are interested in developing greater understanding and expertise in the teaching and learning of the humanities. Courses within this concentration provide opportunities for graduate students to strengthen discipline-specific content knowledge, knowledge for teaching humanities and a multidisciplinary understanding of how content, pedagogy and practice that supports teaching and inquiry focused on humans’ social and cultural experience as they navigate institutional, social and political systems, including education. In consultation with the advisor, this degree can be tailored toward students’ goals, interests and desired timeline to degree.

STEM Education Track

The CU Boulder School of Education offers this program to support educators and other education professionals who are interested in developing greater understanding of and expertise in education related to STEM (particularly science, mathematics and computational thinking). The program enables teachers, educational designers and scholars to explore and critically analyze educational, pedagogical and curricular strategies designed to support students’ STEM learning and identities. Disciplinary connections to critical issues in STEM are strengthened through lesson design and analysis, fieldwork, coursework and research activities. Throughout these experiences, we center equity, democracy and justice as core concerns in STEM education.

MA+ Teacher Licensure

The MA+ teacher licensure program leads to a Colorado initial teaching license in Secondary Math, Science, English or Social Studies plus a master's degree in C&I. This program is for candidates who have earned a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution of higher education and who want to elaborate and deepen the close connections between fieldwork and coursework to become a teacher.
