Master of Education

The Master of Education at UNB offers three completion formats: a course-based option requiring 10 courses, a project or report-based option requiring 8 courses plus a report, and a thesis-based option requiring 5 courses plus a thesis. Most concentrations can be completed entirely online with no in-person components, though some courses run synchronously and others asynchronously, with evening and summer scheduling options available. Students may study full-time or part-time, with up to five years allowed to complete the degree. Admission requires a relevant undergraduate degree with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and at least one year of relevant teaching or related professional experience. Eight concentrations are offered, including Accessibility Studies, Adult Education, Counselling, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Administration and Leadership, and Critical Studies in Education. Entry is available in the fall, winter, or summer terms. The program suits both full-time graduate students and working education professionals seeking to advance their careers while continuing to work.
