Curriculum and Instruction

Master of Arts Degree (M.A.)

There has never been a greater need for effective educators and leaders – with a strong moral foundation – in educational settings across the globe. The Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction (MACI) program at Colorado Christian University is specifically designed to meet this need. Earning your MACI at CCU will enhance your philosophy of education as well as your personal worldview, helping you integrate both into your career as an educator.

The MACI program is designed to enable students to enhance their professional careers in teaching, administration, organizational training, and curriculum development. The goal of the program is to develop strong educational leadership skills in educators that are dedicated to addressing diverse learner needs.

To supplement their Master of Arts in Curriculum degree, students have the option to choose an emphasis in one of several areas, including Corporate Education, Instructional Technology, Online Course Developer, Online Teaching and Learning, and Special Education. In addition, students may take graduate-level certificates in conjunction with their MACI program. These include Corporate Education, Online Course Developer, and Online Teaching and Learning.
