Meet Our Alumni

Curriculum and Instruction graduate degree programs prepare students for a variety of careers. Our students go on to pursue jobs in education, but also extend their skills to other learning environments and professions. Many of our alumni become teachers, professors, teacher educators, policy makers, administrators, and instructional designers for emerging learning technologies. Our programs provide unique opportunities that prepare students to work in public and private schools, universities, government agencies, and private sector industries.
