Open House for Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction 2026 June Cohort

Designed for teachers, by teachers, Mount Marty University's Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction program is an affordable, flexible, and deeply meaningful program focused on making immediate classroom impacts. Beginning in June 2026, we will host a cohort at our Sioux Falls campus at 5001 W. 41st St, Sioux Falls, SD 57106.
