Program details
Overview
The MA/MEd in Educational Psychology at SFU's Faculty of Education applies theory and research on social cognition, moral development, and health and wellness to education across the lifespan, including work with learners who have neurodevelopmental conditions. Students may complete a Master of Arts, which includes a thesis normally finished within three terms, or a Master of Education. Coursework is delivered in person at the Burnaby and Vancouver campuses. Some courses, such as EDUC 860, require an undergraduate course in educational psychology or a related area of psychology as a prerequisite. The programme sits alongside SFU's other Faculty of Education graduate offerings in counselling psychology and related applied fields. At the time of writing the programme page is listed as under revision, with updated admission and intake information to follow; prospective applicants should confirm current application dates directly with the Faculty of Education before applying.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master of Education in Educational Psychology requires a completed bachelor's degree from SFU or an equivalent recognized institution, with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 out of 4.33 (B), or at least 3.33 out of 4.33 (B+) based on the final 60 units of undergraduate coursework; individual graduate programs may set a higher minimum, though Educational Psychology applies SFU's standard master's bar. Applicants must have successfully completed prior undergraduate coursework in both Psychology and Education, though not necessarily as part of a Psychology or Education major. Required documents include transcripts (official copies requested only after an offer is made), letters of reference, and a statement of interest per the Faculty of Education's application instructions. Applicants whose primary language is not English must demonstrate English proficiency sufficient for graduate study, unless applying to a program conducted entirely in French. The program itself consists of coursework and two extended essays completed over six terms.
