Each student will be enrolled in the department in which he or she plans to major, and must meet the graduation requirements of that department and the college in which it is situated.

Graduate Study

The Department of Curriculum and Instruction offers work for the degrees Master of Science, Master of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy with a major in education and minor work to students taking major work in other departments. Within the education major in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction a student may earn an education degree with no area of specialization (master’s and doctorate) or specialize in special education (master’s only), or curriculum and instructional technology (master’s and doctorate). The special education specialization is designed to prepare candidates as practitioners and researchers in the field of mild/moderate disabilities or behavioral disorders/learning disabilities. The specialization in curriculum and instructional technology is designed to prepare candidates as researchers and practitioners in the fields of curriculum and instructional technology.

Students may also opt not to select an area of specialization. These students are asked to select a focus area for their graduate study. Focus areas include educational foundations, world language education, literacy education, mathematics education, multicultural education and international curriculum studies, and science education. See the Curriculum and Instruction web site at http://www.ci.hs.iastate.edu/ for more information on these focus areas.

A minor is available in curriculum and instructional technology at both the master’s and doctoral level. Information about the minors can be found on the web at http://www.ctlt.iastate.edu/student/degree_programs.php.

Prerequisite to major graduate work in education is preparation substantially equivalent to the completion of one of the undergraduate curricula in education offered at Iowa State University, or graduate preparation in a discipline to be used as a teaching field in a community college or university, and adequate proof that the student ranks above average in scholastic ability and promise of professional competence.

The world language requirement, if any, for the Ph.D. degree will be determined by the student’s program of study committee. If no world language is required, the total program must consist of a minimum of 78 semester credits, at least 12 of which must be earned outside the education major, and at least 16 of which must be earned outside the area of specialization. Statistics and research methods may not be included in the 16 credits. Should world language be included, the program of study committee may adjust the minimum program requirement downward, but in no instance may the program of study be less than 72 semester credits. Students whose native language is not English may substitute competence in English. All applicants for the Ph.D. must submit Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores.

Other graduate programs related to education (including General Graduate Studies) may be planned for students on the basis of previous education and experiences as well as future plans and needs. Students should refer to Agricultural Education and Studies, Family and Consumer Sciences Education, Kinesiology, Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, and General Graduate Studies or to graduate level course offerings within other departments.
