We teach knowledge, skills and dispositions associated with pre- and in-service undergraduate and graduate educational foundations and secondary education, as well as undergraduate/graduate content associated with inner city studies education. The Educational Inquiry & Curriculum Studies Department offers bachelor’s and master’s degrees in secondary education and inner city studies education, as well as a post-baccalaureate teacher licensure program in secondary and middle level education.
