Program details

Overview

The Master of Education in Adult Education and Human Resource Development at the University of Regina's Faculty of Education prepares graduates for specialized roles in organizations involved in training and development. Three program structures are offered: a thesis-based option introducing scholarly activity and independent original research, a project-based option applying theory to a limited-scope field project, and a course-based option consisting of ten courses; the program can typically be completed in one to two years. Courses are increasingly offered in blended and fully online formats, allowing domestic students to study part-time while continuing full-time employment. The curriculum examines the complexities organizations face in changing social, technological, and political environments, including change management, organizational functioning, and problem-solving. Small class sizes are intended to allow close mentorship and networking with faculty. The program suits professionals working in or aiming to move into training and development roles within organizations and adult training institutions, and graduates may pursue the Chartered Professional in Human Resources (CPHR) designation. It is delivered through the University of Regina's Faculty of Education.

Requirements

Minimum GPA: 70.00 / %
Admission Requirements: The Master of Education in Adult Education and Human Resource Development requires a four-year degree applicable to the program, normally a B.Ed., B.A.Ed., B.H.R.D., or equivalent, with a minimum grade point average of 70%; meeting this minimum does not guarantee admission, which is also subject to space. Holders of a Saskatchewan Professional 'A' Teaching Certificate with an approved bachelor's degree may use the completed degree to reclassify with their school board. The page states no program-specific English-proficiency figures and refers applicants to the graduate calendar, so the general Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) standard applies: CAEL 70, IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, PTE Academic 59, or Duolingo English Test 125 overall.

Application Details

Application Deadline: Domestic applicants to the University of Regina apply for Fall 2027 entry with a recommended early deadline of 15 March 2027 for best course selection and a final new-applicant deadline of 15 August 2027; Winter 2027-28 entry has an early deadline of 1 November 2026 and a final deadline of 15 December 2026, and Spring/Summer 2027 entry closes 15 April 2027. International (study-permit) applicants share the same final deadlines as domestic students for each term but have no separate early deadline. Numerous named programs, including Nursing, Social Work, Bachelor of Indigenous Social Work, Indigenous Fine Arts and Indigenous Education, carry their own earlier deadlines instead of the general dates. Admission is not described as rolling; late non-competitive applications are simply carried to the next term the program accepts. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
