Program Description:
The MA (Education) is a research-based program intended for individuals wishing to focus on a specific research question. Typically, this would involve theoretical, versus classroom-based, research in the area of education. Students will complete a minimum of three courses, and should be committed to devoting independent effort in the completion of the Thesis, which forms the central requirement of the program.
At the master's level, a Thesis involves close collaboration between supervisor and student. Consequently, it is necessary for a candidate to establish contact with potential supervisors prior to application for admission.
Given the research-intensive nature of the MA (Education), this program would be appropriate preparation for a PhD in Education.
Individuals seeking a course-based program completed within a cohort are advised to refer to the Master of Education offerings.
Note: The MA (Education) program does not lead to a recommendation from the University for Teacher Certification. Individuals seeking Teacher Certification in the province of Alberta should refer to the Bachelor of Education program.
