| The Master of Education (Course-based) program is an advanced degree for educators who are concerned with professional matters of curriculum, teaching, and pedagogy. It is designed to develop competencies as master teachers, educators in specific disciplines, and curriculum and instruction specialists. The program is especially suited for professionals who want to expand their knowledge base in relation to their current practices, leadership roles, and future responsibilities. The course program is flexible and provides opportunities for combining periods of scholarly reflection with practical involvement and self-initiated field work and study projects.
The MEd program is relevant to a broad range of interests such as school-based professional practice, educational technology, curriculum development, pedagogical programs and practices, and teaching in a variety of contexts in subject matter specializations. Please see our Research Areas for further information. Study towards a course-based MEd degree with a focus in the area of curriculum, teaching, and pedagogy is eminently suited to be undertaken by individuals who are currently teaching or who are planning to take a sabbatical or personal leave. A wide variety of courses applicable to this degree are available late afternoons or evenings. Selected courses are offered during Spring and Summer sessions, including our two required curriculum courses (EDSE 503 and EDSE 504).
