Program details
Overview
The Master's program in Curriculum Studies at Mount Saint Vincent University, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, examines how curriculum affects student success and develops advanced skills for addressing different student needs and interests. Students choose a focus on curriculum theory and practice, or on the pedagogy of a particular discipline or subject field, with additional concentrations available in Supporting Learners with Diverse Needs and Exceptionalities (SLDNE), Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and Educational Technology; all course selections are developed and approved in consultation with a faculty advisor. The program welcomes full-time and part-time students and offers several electives through online learning. Part-time students on the general course-based path typically finish in about two years, with up to five years allowed to complete the degree, while structured on-campus or off-campus cohorts, often built around the schedules of working teachers and other professionals, are completed in two years. Graduates work as classroom, resource, and learning-centre teachers, educational administrators, consultants, and curriculum development specialists across school, corporate, arts, and government settings.
