Master of Indigenous Education (MIED)

This program leads to a Master of Indigenous Education (MIEd), a 30-credit-hour graduate degree offered by the University of Regina's Faculty of Education in partnership with the Indigenous Education program at First Nations University of Canada. Students may complete the degree through a thesis, project, or course-based route, each totalling 30 credit hours. The curriculum opens with required courses in Indigenous Education, preparing students as leaders in pedagogical practice, as researchers working with Indigenous peoples, and as practitioners able to integrate Indigenous knowledge into school curricula, before students choose electives from the University of Regina's Faculty of Education in curriculum and instruction, educational administration, educational psychology, adult education, or human resource development. Admission requires a four-year degree applicable to the program, normally a B.Ed., B.H.R.D., or B.A.Ed., with two or more years of teaching or other relevant professional experience preferred. Application deadlines fall on October 15 and February 15. The program suits educators and education professionals seeking to build Indigenous pedagogical expertise and pursue research or leadership roles in Indigenous education.
