K-12 and higher education instructors looking to take their professional development a step further should consider a Master's or Doctorate degree offered by the Department of Curriculum Studies. This department offers two advanced degrees at the Master's level, one in Curriculum Studies (MEd-CS), the other in Early Childhood Education (MEd-ECE), and a doctoral degree in Curriculum and Instruction (PhD).
The MEd-ECE is aimed at those seeking employement in pre-schools and other early childhood settings.

Students may attend part-time but the program must be completed within seven years of the date of admission.
The department's main focus is providing educators with opportunities for advanced study within their chosen field.
