The online Master of Education in Adult Education is designed for graduates and in-service professionals who are seeking growth and development opportunities in their work with adults. Many of our students in this program work within industries such as health care, public services, post-secondary education and workforce development.
The Adult Education Master’s supports competency development in three areas: bridging theory and practice; fostering critical reflection; and advocating for socially just practices.
Students of the online Master of Education program can choose between completing an Action Research Project or a Major Academic Report. These final projects make important connections between theory and practice in the field of adult education.

“Soon after becoming a principal of an elementary school, I set my sights on earning my master’s in education. The skills I’ve gained during the program are applied to my work daily and I hope the degree on my wall inspires my kids to achieve their goals too.”
