The Online Master of Education Program in Curriculum Studies

UNB's College of Extended Learning has partnered with UNB's Faculty of Education, the NB Teachers Association, and the NB Department of Education to develop the online Master of Education program in Curriculum Studies.

This program is designed to enhance and refine the instructional skills and leadership abilities of teachers and administrators. The specialization covers, for example: curriculum planning, exploration and implementation of effective instructional strategies, critical thinking skills development and assessment of student learning. The MEd consists of 30 credit hours of courses, all offered online.

The courses are offered in a rotation, one per term, with a semi-annual intake in January and July. Participants will be able to complete the program in a maximum of three years.

Entrance requirements are the same as those for the classroom-based MEd.
