Program Requirements:

Two routes to the MEd degree are available: a thesis-based route and a course-based route.

All master's applicants are admitted to the course-based route. Once admitted, students will meet with their assigned Program Advisor to begin planning their coursework and overall program of study. Students may subsequently request to change program category to the thesis-based route after completing EDEL 567 and one graduate course in their area of study. Students who are interested in the thesis-based route should discuss this with their Program Advisor and plan to take EDEL 567 early in their program.

Course-based Med:

Students are required to complete a minimum of ★30 in graduate-level coursework plus a non-credit capping exercise.

Thesis-based Med:

Students are required to complete a minimum of ★21 in coursework and a thesis.

Ethics Requirement:

The FGSR Academic Integrity and Ethics Training Requirement is fulfilled through registration in EDEL 567.

Professional Development Requirement:

Students in the MEd program fulfill the FGSR Professional Development Requirement through their program.

Residence Requirement:

There is no residence requirement for the course-based master's program.

There is no residence requirement for the thesis-based master's program, but a one-year residency is recommended.

Length of Program:

The time required to complete the MEd program varies with the individual candidate and the route selected.
