• The Master of Education is generally completed over a two-year period for full-time students, and over a longer period for part-time students.
  • The MEd Program is designed for those students whose primary interest is in developing further their professional practice.
  • MEd students complete their programs by writing a graduating paper (EDST 590) which can take a number of forms, including writing a substantial essay on a particular topic that includes a review of relevant literature, or the creation of a curriculum or policy that is directly relevant to their workplace.
  • Some program concentrations give students the option of completing one or more elective courses as an alternative to writing a graduating paper.

  • Students have the option of:

    (1) completing 27 credits of course work and a three credit graduating paperor

    (2) completing all 30 credits through course work.

  • The MEd degree provides a rich learning environment for studying educational theories, methodologies, and problems which can then be transferred to work in schools, the workplace, the non-profit sector, and community leadership.
