Our Master’s programs integrate theory and practice in ways that are intellectually stimulating and professionally rewarding to our students.
The Master of Education in Leadership in Learning program is open to school and college teachers and those involved in other professions, including journalism, law, and nursing. The program is designed to provide experienced educators with the knowledge and skills required to become effective educational leaders. The overall aim of the program is to promote and support educational scholarship, research, and practice. We also offer outreach MEd programs in Fort McMurray, Alberta, and central locations in Nunavut.
Program requirements
Students enrolled in the regular MEd program are required to choose either a thesis-based or course-based option. This choice can be made after a student is officially enrolled in the program. In the thesis-based option students will complete five compulsory courses, one elective course, and a thesis (4 course equivalents). In the course-based option, students will complete seven compulsory courses and three elective courses. All of the forms you will need for your application can be found on the Registar's Office website.
All Masters students will be enrolled as full-time students for two years (6 semesters). A program fee will be paid over this two year period in six installments. If Masters students have not completed all degree requirements within two years, they will continue as full-time students and pay maintenance fees as full-time students until all degree requirements are met.
