The curriculum studies concentration area prepares advanced students to impact critically important education issues spanning a wide range of educational contexts. Curriculum studies is an interdisciplinary field within education, influenced by scholarship from the humanities, literary studies, sociology, visual and performance arts, history and cultural studies. We study how learners and teachers understand and experience curricula ¿ broadly defined to include experiences taking place both within schools and outside them in mass media, internet communication, popular culture and the everyday life spaces of public pedagogy.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
