The Master of Education in Curriculum Studies (General Program) at Acadia University examines curriculum theory and practice through an interdisciplinary lens, with attention to equity, social justice, anti-racist education, culturally responsive pedagogy, and inclusive schooling. The degree totals 30 credit hours across ten courses: three required foundational courses plus seven electives drawn from the university's graduate education offerings, with the option to complete a thesis within the same credit total. Delivery combines online and in-person formats, and the program runs on a cohort schedule, with the 2026 intake extending from summer 2026 through summer 2028. Admission requires an online application with fee, a letter of intent, a resume or CV, official transcripts, and two references, and selection is competitive based on demonstrated readiness for graduate-level study. The program suits working education professionals and full-time graduate students who want flexible scheduling and the ability to shape coursework around curriculum leadership and educational equity interests.
Requirements
Minimum GPA:73.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Curriculum Studies (MEd, general program) page does not state a minimum GPA or English-test score itself; it lists the required application materials instead: online application, application fee, an uploaded letter of intent, resume/CV, official transcripts from every post-secondary institution attended, and two references (one academic and one professional, or two professional, depending on how recently the applicant studied), and warns that the process is competitive beyond the stated minimum. Acadia's general graduate and Master of Education requirements apply: an Honours degree or four-year bachelor's degree, with at least a B average (73-76%) in the final two years of full-time-equivalent (60 credit-hour) study. Applicants whose first language is not English must present IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or TOEFL iBT 90 with no subtest below 20 (before January 21, 2026) or TOEFL 4.5 overall (on or after that date), or equivalent.
Application Details
Start Date:Summer
Application Deadline:Acadia does not publish year-specific application deadlines: its live admissions pages state only that domestic and international undergraduate applicants may apply any time after September 21st, with March 1st as the priority date for entrance-scholarship consideration (decisions by mid-April); no year is attached to either date. Admission is otherwise rolling, with no separate international closing date published. The Bachelor of Education programme has its own cycle, opening October 1st, but as of September 2026 the page still shows the stale 2025-2026 cycle and no current-cycle date has been published. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
