Curriculum and Instruction - Bradley University

Curriculum and Instruction from Bradley University is a Campus Master Curriculum degree that prepares you for a Education career. The Department also offers a Graduate Certificate Program in Curriculum and Instruction . A Graduate Certificate is a declaration indicating someone has completed a prescribed set of courses in a discipline. A Graduate Certificate is not a Master's Degree and is not the same as teacher certification. Teachers who hold either a bachelor's or master's degree can benefit from the program. Benefits include increased expertise in instructional content and pedagogy and advancement on school districts' salary schedules. Teachers also benefit by being able to gain either additional expertise in their selected areas of specialization or by broadening their knowledge and skills in additional areas. In addition, they will be able to continue their life-long learning endeavors within flexible, complex teaching frameworks in a diverse, global community. Students in the program will have: 1) an opportunity to expand their learning beyond that in their bachelor's or other master's degree; 2) a basic core of learning focusing on cultural diversity and instructional strategies and designs; and 3) an area of concentration of coursework that will strengthen their pedagogical and/or pedagogical content knowledge. Students may select from one of the following areas of concentration: assessment, early childhood education, educational technology, gifted education, literacy and reading, science education, special education, or multidisciplinary. The courses included in the Certificate Program are the same as some of those offered in the Master's Degree Program. Teachers may choose to apply their Certificate Program courses toward a full Master's Degree by completing the remainder of the coursework needed for the Master's Degree.
