School of Curriculum and Instruction
Graduate Curriculum and Instruction courses are listed in three areas:
The School of Curriculum and Instruction offers programs of graduate study designed to meet the academic and professional requirements of those involved in teaching, curriculum development, and supervision.
Master's degree programs are offered in curriculum and instruction, including emphases in elementary education, middle school education, reading, secondary education, special education, supervision, computer and educational technology, teaching of the talented and gifted, mathematics education, economic education, and microcomputers.
The doctoral program in curriculum and instruction is designed to prepare curriculum and supervision personnel to serve in schools, two-year community or technical colleges, and university settings. The Ph.D. program provides a core of experiences in educational foundations, curriculum, and instructional theories, and a specialization in curriculum and instruction, reading and language arts, social studies education, supervision, economic education, mathematics education, instructional technology, or middle level education.
To pursue graduate study, you must meet established graduate entrance requirements and be accepted by the graduate committee of the school. Depending upon the grade-point average you earned as an undergraduate, you may be required to submit the results of the Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative) or the Miller Analogies Test if you are applying for master's degree study.
If you are applying for doctoral study, you must submit Graduate Record Examination (verbal and quantitative) and Miller Analogies Test scores.
Students not seeking a degree may pursue graduate courses on a non-degree basis in a planned professional development program.
You should arrange to complete the application process a month in advance of the term in which you plan to begin study, since you can take the Graduate Record Examination only on certain dates throughout the year. Submit your application for financial aid by March 15 to receive consideration for the following academic year.

Economic Education
The M.A. in economic education at Ohio University is designed for in-service teachers who have a baccalaureate degree and meet the normal graduate admission standards and the standards of the School of Curriculum and Instruction. A program of 48 quarter hours in economic education, economics, and educational theory and research is required. You are expected to take a minimum of 28 quarter hours in economic education, 12 in economics, and 8 in education. The total program must be planned with and approved by your graduate advisor.
Professional Laboratory Experiences
Professional laboratory experiences are designed individually by the director of field experience in consultation with your graduate advisor. The experience is planned as a meaningful extension of your experience as a teacher, counselor, or administrator. In general, undergraduate student teaching is a prerequisite for all graduate-level laboratory experiences.
