Teacher Education and Curriculum Studies

Become a teacher educator or curriculum specialist by earning a doctorate in Teacher Education and Curriculum Studies, including specialized focuses in Early Childhood Education, Social Studies Education, and Teacher Education. 

Under the mentorship of your chosen faculty advisor, you’ll design a program tailored to your interests and professional experiences. You will explore diverse theoretical perspectives, engage in original research, and have the chance to prepare future teachers.

While most candidates go on to faculty positions in education, others pursue careers directing curriculum in early childhood, elementary, or secondary settings; work in public or private agencies; or join research institutions.
