MA/MS in Education - Professional (MPEd)

The Master of Professional Education (MPEd) at Western University is a graduate degree for practising professionals who want to advance their careers through applied research and leadership training. Students develop critical thinking and decision-making skills and learn to apply research to workplace problems within a chosen field, which include Applied Behaviour Analysis, Curriculum and Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, Educational Leadership, Equity/Diversity/Social Justice, French Education, Global and International Education, International School Leadership, Leadership in Indigenous Education, Literacy Education, Mathematics Education, TESOL, and Teaching Students with Exceptionalities. Program length varies by field: three terms for TESOL and six terms for all other fields. Coursework is delivered fully online, except for the TESOL field. Completion of the degree does not lead to certification with the Ontario College of Teachers. Admission requires a four-year undergraduate degree with a minimum 'B' standing (70%) in the final two years of study; Applied Behaviour Analysis applicants must also have a background in psychology.
