About Master of Education - Curriculum Studies
Program Description
Curriculum Studies programs at DePaul share a commitment to social justice, democracy, and critical engagement with issues affecting urban and marginalized students. This programs assist educators in reflecting on and strengthening their own practice and challenging themselves and their colleagues to work effectively for justice and educational excellence. Students use critical reflection to improve practice, engage in rigorous theoretical inquiry, and identify, address, and build coalitions around opportunities and problems in education.
The Curriculum Studies program is designed for educators who wish to enhance their skills in teaching, curriculum development, or the administration of a department or educational program. It aims to equip leaders in a variety of educational settings with the skills necessary to develop, justify, evaluate, and modify curricula to better serve the needs of students, especially urban and marginalized students.
Within this framework, the Curriculum Studies Program offers two degree programs to meet students’ professional goals. These concentrations include a set of core classes with the opportunity for electives. Approved degree programs are MEd-Curriculum Specialist and MEd-Curriculum Studies with Teacher Leader Endorsement.
