The purpose of the present study is to measure the dominant curriculum orientation of faculty members at the University of Kurdistan. In terms of purpose, this is an applied study, and in terms of data collection methods, it is a descriptive survey. The target population consisted of all faculty members who were teaching during the 2014-2015 academic year at the University of Kurdistan. To collect the data, the census method was employed due to the limited number of participants. The data collection tools were the “curriculum orientations inventory (COI)” developed by Cheung and Wong (2002) and modified by Mahlios, Rice, and Thomas (2004). The results of the study showed that cognitive process and academic rationalism were the most dominant orientations of the faculty members. The results also showed that there is a positive relationship between the faculty members' curriculum orientation and their expertise.
