Educational Psychology (MEd)

About

The Master of Education in Educational Psychology program emphasizes training and research in two streams:

Educational psychology
Counselling

The first stream is designed for students who want to become an Educational Psychologist and potentially register with the Saskatchewan College of Psychologists. The second stream is designed for students who want to become counsellors.

Faculty members in Educational Psychology are committed to decolonizing counselling practices and spaces, inclusive education, and social justice in educational psychology.

We offer the following graduate programs:

Master of Education in Educational Psychology (thesis-based)

The thesis-based master's program provides the introduction to scholarly activities and independent, original research and is generally critical to students intending further study at the doctoral level.

Master of Education in Educational Psychology (practicum-based)

The practicum-based master's program is designed to provide practical experience in the field as opposed to a theoretical or research-based study. Students in the practicum route must select either Practicum Route 1: Psychology in Education or Practicum Route 2: Counselling.

Master of Education in Educational Psychology (course-based)

The course-based master's program consists of 10 courses.

Entry Requirements

Master’s Degree

A graduating average of at least 70 per cent from a four-year baccalaureate degree (or equivalent) is required for admission to all programs except for English, History, Mathematics and Statistics and the Master of Public Administration where the required average is 75 per cent. Applicants with a marginally lower four-year average may be accepted if their performance in the last two complete years is significantly higher (75 per cent or more). Applicants must have the academic background required to undertake graduate studies in their chosen field. Applicants who fail to meet this requirement but who otherwise meet the criteria may be admitted; however, background deficiencies must be addressed by taking appropriate courses either prior to or in parallel with graduate work.

English Program Requirements

English Proficiency Tests. International applicants, except those who attended universities where the language of instruction was English, must submit proof of English proficiency, usually in the form of recognized tests with the exception of applications to French language programs in La Cité universitaire francophone.
