Program details
Overview
This 45-credit graduate program at Bishop's University leads to a Master of Education in Educational Studies and Leadership, completed over roughly two and a half years with a Fall start term, and offered in course-based or major formats. Coursework engages the social, historical, cultural, and linguistic dimensions of education, and examines issues of power, diversity, gender, and marginalization within educational systems. Faculty expertise supporting the program spans curriculum studies, early childhood education, gender studies, Indigenous education, language and literacy, assessment and evaluation, policy studies, rural education, social justice, anti-racism, and STEM and STEAM education. The program is intended to further students' scholarly and professional development as administrators, educational leaders, educators, and researchers, preparing graduates for work in educational institutions as well as other organizational, professional, and community settings. It suits education professionals looking to advance into leadership or research-oriented roles, particularly those wanting to address the social, cultural, digital, and economic dimensions of contemporary education. The program's broad faculty expertise allows students to pursue coursework aligned with a specific area of educational leadership or policy, rather than following a single fixed specialization track.
