The Curriculum and Instruction master's program offers a specialization in Teaching and Learning, and the program may be completed through on-campus and/or online courses. The program is structured to develop and strengthen leadership skills while providing inspiration to excel at teaching.

All online courses are taught by regular SPU faculty to provide the same quality degree earned by on campus students. The online program utilizes a user-friendly system to enhance communication and interaction between students and faculty - a majority of which have earned doctorates and are experienced educators and researchers.

The Curriculum and Instruction program at Seattle Pacific University admits candidates each quarter. The suggested course scheduling sequence depicts a two year plan for degree completion.

Due to the focus of the Curriculum and Instruction degree on the K-12 school system, it is preferred that each applicant has completed an approved program for teacher certification prior to enrollment.
