We offer Colorado's top-ranked graduate programs in education. As a graduate student in the School of Education, you will work closely with a small, collaborative group of nationally renowned faculty and a supportive community dedicated to preparing engaged educators, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders.
Curriculum and Instruction programs enrich understanding of the histories and foundations of knowledge, inquiry, learning, and pedagogy in teaching and research in subject areas. This program has two distinct program areas: Literacy Studies and Math & Science Education.
Explore school culture, language policies, and the social and political context of schooling. We are devoted to the critical examination of theory, practice, and policy in: the education of culturally and linguistically diverse students and the education of exceptional children.
Devote your learning experience to the critical examination of the relationships among education, society, culture, and government, with special emphasis on problems of race, gender, sexual diversity, social class, and multiculturalism.
Take an interdisciplinary approach to studying learning, teaching, and development in schools and out-of-school contexts. Our program is on the leading edge of explorations of issues of social justice, power, and culture in learning.
This is a place for intellectually curious and motivated students who want to learn about research methodology with an eye toward influencing education policy and practice.
