MEd, Curriculum Studies
MEd-CS Interdisciplinary is a minimum 30 credit track with two options: (1) the independent study of an area of concentration based on the student’s choice or (2) a set thematic course of study with a cohort of students. Coursework requires twelve core credit hours and at least 18 credit hours of electives. For independent students, the interdisciplinary track can provide flexibility to adapt to their needs and interests and make the best use of faculty expertise. Electives are chosen from a recommended course list, or may be selected in consultation with the program advisor. Students in any of our cohorted MEd-CS Interdisciplinary programs join a community that take a prescribed set of courses together focused on a particular theme. For information about these interdisciplinary cohorted programs, please go to the Masterʻs:Interdisciplinary drop-down menu above to see a full description of each program.
