Curriculum Studies

About

The application deadline is December 15. All applications and supporting documentation must be received by the deadline date. After that date, we will review the completed applications, but not before.

This program addresses the relationship between practice and theory in curriculum research, design, implementation, evaluation, and leadership, as well as expertise in educational technology and communication. Those choosing to pursue a Master of Education in Curriculum Studies will be encouraged to focus on aspects of praxis leading to expertise and leadership in that area.

Who would be interested in an M.Ed. in Curriculum Studies? Anyone participating in teaching in its various forms – in the K-12 system, the post-secondary system, and informal education – who wants to study one or more aspects of curriculum, such as research, development, implementation, evaluation and leadership for change.

There are three program options for this degree:

Thesis-based: in addition to coursework, you will work with a supervisor to conduct an original research study
Project-based: as above, but instead of a thesis you will be completing a project or minor thesis
Course-based: you will take a selection of courses including a capstone class 'scholarship in teaching'
