CIDE: M.A. Program Overview
The master of arts (M.A.) degree with a program emphasis in comparative and international
development education (CIDE), administered by the Graduate School and offered by
the Department of Educational Policy and Administration (EdPA), provides an opportunity
for intensive study of comparative education, international development education,
and international educational exchange. CIDE uses an interdisciplinary approach
to the study of education’s role in economic, political, and sociocultural development;
international educational exchange; and the internationalization of education.
There are three concentrations within the CIDE program, and students choose to
focus on one of them: comparative and development education;
intercultural/international education; and global youth policy and leadership.
Who enrolls in this program?
Students enrolled in CIDE are the future leaders, policy analysts, educators
and researchers in the field of comparative and international development education.
All students enrolled in the program will incorporate relevant knowledge from the
behavioral and social sciences and the humanities into their studies. The program
is selective and is limited to 25-30 students each year. Most new students begin the
program in the fall semester due to the cohort model used by the CIDE track, but
exceptions are occasionally made to begin in the spring semester. Classes
may be taken the previous summer if permission is obtained from the program coordinator.
Admission requirements
What will my program look like?
The M.A. requires that students enrolled under the semester system take at least
30 credit hours. Typically a course meeting once a week throughout the semester
is three credits. As part of their program of study, students choose one of two
options for the degree: Plan A (with master’s thesis) or Plan B (without thesis
but with additional courses). In addition, all students register for Plan A
thesis credits or for Plan B credits. Students can complete the course work on either
a full-time or part-time basis.
Curriculum details
How long will my master's program take?
Many students are employed full-time and spread their coursework over 2 years
(including summers). M.A. students must successfully complete their course work,
master’s thesis and final oral examination (Plan A), or Plan B paper and final oral examination to receive their degree. All degree requirements
must be completed within seven years after starting the program including any previous
coursework that may be transferred into the program.
