Welcome to a New Chapter: Starting June 1*, Siena College is honored to carry forward the legacy of Clarkson University's Master of Arts in Curriculum program, promising a future of continued excellence and innovative education.

Siena’s Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction gives you the ability to dive into one of society’s most critical and in-demand professions. With the looming teacher shortage, students are in need of educators who can design curricula that fits all types of learners. That’s why the best teachers are Saints.

Focusing on research in order to better prepare children in the classroom, our Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction program is made for students who have a passion to learn more about education research and how it can impact and improve the field of education. 

Siena’s MA in Curriculum and Instruction is designed for working teachers — including an option to complete the program online. Most students complete our program in two to three years. 

Guided by our expert faculty, you can create a program that aligns with your passions and career goals by selecting the courses that best feed the skills you’re looking to gain. 

Courses include:

  • Effective Teaching for All Learners
