Education (med) in University of Northern British Columbia

The Master of Education is responsible for the preparation of professional educators who may pursue advanced study at the doctoral level and/or advanced professional employment.

As distinct from undergraduate degree programs which advance students' knowledge of their disciplines, graduate degree programs at the Master's level have the more difficult task of not only advancing students' knowledge to the point of mastery, but also preparing students to demonstrate that they are capable of advancing the knowledge of their disciplines. The MEd degree awarded under the authority of the School of Education includes the courses and supervised study necessary to meet this obligation.

In addition to full-time students, the Education degree programs attempt to accommodate part-time students who may hold full-time jobs. For this reason, most of the Education courses are offered in the late afternoon and evening, as well as during Summer Session, so they can be accessed by persons during their annual vacation. It is recommended that students plan to make full use of the Summer Session offerings to complete their degree within the prescribed time limit. It is also recommended that students complete EDUC 601-3 (Educational Research Design and Methodology) and either EDUC 602-4 (Quantitative Research Design and Data Analysis) or EDUC 610-4 (Qualitative Analysis in Education) during the first half of their MEd Program.

Requirements

Provided that such courses have not been associated with the receipt of either a degree or diploma from UNBC or another educational institution, students may apply to the Vice Provost Student Recruitment or designate for up to six credit hours for previously completed graduate level course work that is equivalent to that completed in the MEd program. Where equivalent courses have been associated previously with the receipt of either a degree or diploma, students will be permitted to elect alternative courses from the MEd program to satisfy the requirements for the degree.
