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.
Our commitment to you
MEd in 3Cs is aligned with Loyola University Chicago’s mission that situates educational research and practices within the needs and goals of communities. We seek to prepare current and future researchers and educators to develop their research, pedagogical, and leadership skills in support of culturally responsive education, asset-based community perspectives, and mutually beneficial partnerships across educational institutions and glocal communities. The vision of this program is to enable students to gain academic, research-based, and practical experiences to advance their professionalism as a social justice-oriented curriculum specialist in order to positively impact learners, teachers, and communities in a globalized world.
