The Master of Education in World Indigenous Studies in Education (WISE) at Queen's University is designed for educators, leaders, and changemakers who want to deepen their understanding of Indigenous knowledge and education while continuing to work in their communities. The program is part-time and blended, combining asynchronous and synchronous online coursework with one in-person week on campus during the first July term, framed by traditional opening and closing ceremonies. Students are automatically enrolled in the course-based pathway (10 courses) but may switch, after securing a supervisor, into a project pathway (8 courses plus a project) or a thesis pathway (6 courses plus a thesis); every pathway leads to the same MEd degree. Most students complete the program within three to four years of part-time study, with up to five years allowed. Course offerings cover topics such as Indigenous Languages Revitalization, Educational Research in Indigenous Contexts, Orality in Indigenous Thought, Government Policies within an Indigenous Context, and Indigenous Feminism. The program is not funded.
