Dr. Dana Hood  Department Chair

The mission of the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at Abilene Christian University is to prepare Christian educators for service and leadership throughout the world.  

That is a mission that we take seriously. At ACU, you will find a teacher education program that will prepare you for the highest levels of excellence in your profession. But, more than that, you will be prepared to make a difference in the lives you touch.

We focus on getting you ready to meet all of the challenges and opportunities in the field of education, and doing it in the context of Christian values and principles. Our graduates become educators who make a difference in their communities and in the lives of their students.
