What will I learn?

The MEd in Curriculum, Culture, and Communities (3Cs) is a new Master's program launching in the Fall of 2021. MEd in 3Cs is designed within a social justice framework across schools and communities to prepare educators, community organizers, faith-based leaders, policy-makers, and others to take on new challenges as socially-just curriculum specialists in institutions of higher education, schools, and communities.

MEd in 3Cs is designed for an applicant who has less than 5 years of professional experience with BA/BS. Applicants with BA/BS with 5+ years of professional experience are eligible to apply for both MEd and Ed.D. in 3Cs. Those students who complete an MEd in 3Cs will have an option to matriculate into an Ed.D. program if they are in good academic standing.
