Academic Programs Overview | Course Work | Supervised Fieldwork and Advisement | Integrative Master's Project
Courses provide students with the opportunity to engage in readings, discussions, and experiences that address enduring and current aspects of education. The course work in all programs emphasizes human development and its variations; the historical, philosophical, and social foundations of education; and curriculum and inquiry. Through a variety of intellectual and experiential means, students acquire an understanding of the role of education in promoting the appreciation of human diversity. Course instructors challenge students through assignments, problem-solving tasks, and models of active learning.
Graduate courses are generally held during weekday evenings (Monday through Thursday), from 4:45 to 6:45 p.m., and from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. June courses are held between the hours of 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. In the July term, courses are offered during the day as well as in the evening.
Courses designed for the Museum Education, Museum Leadership, and the summer programs follow a different timetable.
