Overview

The Master of Education (MEd) at Wilfrid Laurier University offers two streams: an Interdisciplinary program for practising educators and a Student Affairs program for those pursuing student affairs and services careers in postsecondary settings. The curriculum consists of eight half-credit courses, combining a blend of online and on-site courses, including fully online offerings and courses with live synchronous components delivered through a hyflex teaching option. The program can be completed full-time over three consecutive terms or part-time over six consecutive terms. Admission is offered for the Fall and Spring terms, with intake varying by stream. Graduates pursue advanced roles in K-12 and postsecondary education, including teaching, curriculum leadership, and student affairs administration, as well as further graduate study in education.
