FAQs
How heavy is the course load and
projects?
Since this program is designed for working teachers, we only offer two courses in the fall and spring semesters with research and project topics centered around your actual work in the classroom and school. Other courses are offered during our two summer sessions at which time most educators have a break from their busiest in-school schedules.
When does the program start and how
long does it take to finish the program? You can join the program in any term. However, if you want to finish in four semesters (the fastest completion), it is best to start in the first summer session which begins in May. Nevertheless, it is still possible to join in Fall or Spring and still finish well within two years. And it is possible to take a slower pace, if you so desire. We will be as flexible as is needed to keep you progressing toward your degree.
I have been accepted to The Patton College Teaching Fellows program. Can I complete a Curriculum and Instruction master’s in three semesters? Yes! Teaching Fellows can follow an accelerated course of study to finish in three semesters. You would take three courses in summer semester, four courses in fall semester, and four courses in spring semester.
Are all of the classes online? Yes, all of the classes are online and for the most part asynchronous. Some instructors may require online meetings, but these are planned well in advance and scheduled with the students.
Who can I talk to if I have further questions?
