The Faculty of Education offers graduate programs leading to MEd, MA, MSc, EdD and PhD degrees in select fields of scholarly and professional studies. The nature of and requirements for degrees vary by degree and by field of study.
The MEd is a professional degree signifying advanced knowledge about and advanced training in educational practice. Minimal requirements for MEd course work/comprehensive exam programs are the completion of 31 units in required and elective courses, plus a final comprehensive examination (five units). The content of EDUC 883 MEd Comprehensive Examination varies by program.
In the individual program, the MEd culminates in a project that materially and substantially relates theory to practice or that systematically examines a significant problem in education. Students enrolled in the MEd program that includes a project must successfully complete a minimum of 33 units divided between courses (at least 28 units) and EDUC 881 Project (five units).
The MA, MSc, EdD and PhD degrees signify advanced knowledge in a field of specialization and advanced competence in conducting significant and original research in education.
Minimum requirements for the MA and MSc degrees are successful completion of 33 units of required and elective graduate courses (at least 23 units) and EDUC 898 Master’s Thesis (10 units).
Minimum requirements for the PhD are successful completion of 35 units beyond graduate requirements for an MA or MSc, consisting of 20 units divided among required and elective courses, comprehensive examination (five units) and EDUC 899 Doctoral Thesis (10 units).
The EdD in educational leadership is a professional degree signifying the acquisition of advanced knowledge and expertise in educational leadership. Minimum requirements are successful completion of 40 units of graduate work, consisting of 25 units divided among required and elective courses, a comprehensive examination (five units), and EDUC 899 Doctoral Thesis (10 units).
See “1.3 Admission” on page 219 of the Graduate General Regulations for University admission requirements. In exceptional circumstances, applicants who do not meet these requirements may be considered if superior scholarly or professional achievement is demonstrated.
All applications are reviewed once a year. Completed applications to the master in counselling psychology programmust be received by January 15. Completed applications to all other master’s programs must be received by January 15. Completed applications to PhD programs must be received by January 15. Individual master’s program applicants (see below) are urged to begin the application process well in advance of this deadline.
Admission is granted to a specific degree and to a particular program or specialization. Admission decisions are available by March 15. Application information is available November 15 via the web.

Supervision
A pro-tem advisor, who is appointed by the director of graduate programs upon admission, offers counsel regarding elective courses and other matters and, in those programs requiring a project or thesis, about selecting a committee to supervise this work. For additional information about supervisory committees, refer to “1.6 Supervision” on page 222 of the Graduate General Regulations.
The MA and MSc degrees signify the acquisition of advanced knowledge in the student’s field of specialization and competence in conducting significant and original research in education. Graduate programs leading to these degrees culminate with a master’s thesis (EDUC 898).
The MEd is a professional degree signifying advanced knowledge and training in educational practice. All MEd programs, except an individual program, culminate with a comprehensive exam (EDUC 883). In an individual program, a project (EDUC 881) is undertaken that materially and substantially relates theory to practice or that examines a significant education problem.
MEd Community Graduate Programs – Two Year Option
MEd programs are for practicing educators who wish to improve abilities to critically read, evaluate and integrate educational theory and research.
Two year MEd programs in educational leadership and in curriculum and instruction, offered in communities throughout the province, focus on a theme that integrates scholarly inquiry with focal interests and professional practice needs. During fall and spring terms, classes normally are scheduled every second weekend where the program is situated. In the summer terms, students typically attend classes on the Burnaby campus in July.
