Curriculum and Supervision Program

At The University of Iowa, we take a view of curriculum studies that has clear residency in the schools and the lives of school children, and that maintains a deep association with multiple forms of research.  Students in our program are exposed to the comprehensive nature of the field, but the main focus of their education is in the application of research to school development concerns.  In other words, our program aims to develop expertise with school-based research problems across the K-12 spectrum and to advance a skill set associated with curriculum development work.  Students also have the opportunity to take courses to certify themselves for school administration work and to select key cognate areas of study designed to enrich their skills in affiliative areas of inquiry.  Graduates of our program are researchers who are employable in a variety of settings.  They usually move onto positions in higher education and school administration, and more rarely, state departments and private industry.
