School Curriculum and Assessment Policy

An Interdisciplinary Ed.S. Program

The School Curriculum and Assessment Policy (SCAP) program is designed for educators who hold a Master’s degree but would like to pursue a course of study to better understand the intersection between curriculum, assessment, and education policy.

All applicants must satisfy Graduate College requirements and are selected through a faculty review process. Factors considered include recommendations, grade-point average, Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test scores, one to two page statement of goals, and other evidence of academic ability and professional promise.
