Master of Education Course Requirements
The program comprises ten half-courses and may be undertaken on a full or part-time basis. All students must take the two required foundation courses. In addition, students must choose four courses from the Departmental Electives list (see Section 1.3 of the AP&HD Program Guidelines). The remaining four elective courses may be taken from within or outside the department. Elective courses must be chosen in consultation with the student’s faculty advisor. Students are asked to meet with their faculty advisors in the first term of their programs.
