MA/MS in Education at University of Lethbridge in Lethbridge, Canada is a master's degree in Education & Teaching programme. The programme runs for 24 months, delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 5,483 per semester (CAD 2,218 per semester for local students).
The Master of Arts in Education is a research-based graduate program offered in person at the University of Lethbridge's Lethbridge campus, with Summer, Fall, and Winter intake, and can be completed in 24 months full-time or 48 months part-time. The program is built around a thesis, supported by a minimum of three courses, and is intended for students pursuing a specific research question in education rather than a cohort-based, course-only path -- the page directs students who prefer a course-based, cohort program toward the university's Master of Education instead. Students may optionally take part in cooperative education placements alongside their coursework and research. Applicants are required to secure a potential supervisor before submitting an application. The program does not lead to a recommendation from the university for Teacher Certification; students seeking Alberta teacher certification are directed toward the Bachelor of Education program instead. It suits students aiming to develop and defend original research in education, particularly those planning to continue on to doctoral study, and who want close supervision of a thesis rather than a structured, course-heavy graduate experience.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: For the MA in Education, the program page states no program-specific academic prerequisites beyond noting that applicants must secure a potential supervisor before applying; it directs applicants to uLethbridge's general Graduate Admission Requirements, and to the Graduate Studies Calendar and Course Catalogue, which prevails over program pages in case of any discrepancy. All applicants to the School of Graduate Studies must satisfy uLethbridge's English Language Proficiency requirement, met through a baccalaureate or master's degree from a country where English is the primary language, the Advanced Level of the university's EAP program, or an approved test: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (min. 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (min. 20 per section), PTE Academic 61 overall (min. 60 per part), CAEL 70 overall (min. 60 per component), Duolingo English Test 120 overall (min. 110 per subscore), or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 (min. 176 per subscore).
