Program details
Overview
This Master of Education programme, with a study theme in Literacy Education, sits within the Contemporary Issues in Education major and leads to a Master of Education (MEd) credential. It provides a foundation in reading, writing and communication by integrating theory, research and practice across courses covering cognition, assessment, classroom interaction and contemporary literacies, with an emphasis on evidence-based approaches to supporting diverse learners. The programme runs over 36 months (three years), with Fall and Winter terms delivered online asynchronously and summer components in July anticipated to run online synchronously, following a fully online format for the 2027 cohort. It does not lead to teacher certification, and because of its online delivery format, graduates are not eligible to apply for a post-graduation work permit, making the programme unsuitable for international applicants relying on that pathway.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission to the Master of Education requires a minimum grade point average of 3.00 over the terms containing the last 20 graded university courses (60.0 credit hours), plus proof of English Language Proficiency sufficient for graduate-level classroom instruction, written assignments, research and tutorial participation. Applicants should review the major-specific admission requirements published for Contemporary Issues in Education before applying.
