Chair's Welcome
Welcome to the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction!
“Education not only is the means through which a culture
is transmitted but also the means through which it is
transformed.”
Curriculum deals with the various designs for learning,
while instruction denotes the means. The Department of Curriculum
and Instruction at California State University is at the core of
the educational process. We offer core classes in the Multiple
Subject and Single Subject Credential Programs and a broad range of
graduate study opportunities.
We are a vibrant group of faculty—excellent teachers
and mentors and we offer practical, forward-thinking,
technologically rich curricula that prepare future teachers and
curriculum experts for leadership roles in educational
settings.
