Classes are small, so students can easily form friendships and study groups. We offer a small school atmosphere rarely found at a major research university, which provides our students with very unique and valuable classroom experiences.

Keeping with the tradition of collaboration and knowledge sharing, our program faculty and students publish in scholarly and practitioner journals and present at regional, national, and international conferences. Although, the C & I degree program is situated within a major research university and its scholars conduct innovative and groundbreaking research, the program offers a “small school” atmosphere and students benefit from attentive mentoring from faculty and the wider academic community.

Students choose to pursue a graduate degree in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in Elementary Education at Florida State for several reasons. Foremost, our highly accomplished faculty have strong backgrounds in their respective subject areas and value close-working relationships. They want nothing more than to see their students succeed.
