Other graduate education areas are organized into four units:

Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning offers M.Ed., Ed.D., and Ph.D. degrees. This unit contains programs that would traditionally fall under Curriculum and Instruction and Social Studies Education. The M.Ed. offers various areas of emphasis.

Language, Literacy, and Cultural Studies offers Ph.D. degrees in programs that would traditionally be considered English Education, Language Education, and Reading Education. The area of Reading also offers M.Ed and Ed.S. degrees for those seeking endorsement as Reading Specialists

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics offers Ph.D. degrees in programs that would traditionally be considered Science Education, Instructional Technology, and Mathematics Education. The Instructional Technology program additionally offeres M.Ed., Ed.S. and Ed.D. degrees.

Special Education offers M.Ed. and Ph.D. degrees. M.Ed. degrees are in areas of Gifted Education, Early Childhood Special Education and Severe Disabilities. 

Students who pursue advanced studies in the Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and Special Education generally have one of three goals. Applicants may be seeking to extend their preparation for teaching (M.Ed. and Ed.S.), serving as supervisors and/or leaders of curriculum and instruction improvement in school divisions or as program specialists in human service agencies (Ed.D.), or preparing for the conduct of original research and teaching in university/college settings or at research-and-development centers, agencies, or organizations (Ph.D.).  The Ed.D. may be pursued on a part-time basis; Ph.D. programs require full-time enrollment. Applicants for doctoral work (Ed.D. and Ph.D.) are generally experienced educators. The emphasis for both doctoral tracks is on analysis and evaluation of teaching, design and evaluation of educational programs, and processes of change.
