Applicants must have successfully completed an undergraduate degree, have an academic background in learning and development-related courses in psychology, anthropology, learning sciences, education, and/or related disciplines (e.g., social and/or health sciences), and have either volunteer or professional experience in learning contexts, such as schools, after-school programs, and/or community-based programs. No thesis is required.
Students with no previous coursework on research methods prior to starting an M.Ed. in HDLC will be required to take a prerequisite course: EPSE 483 (3) Reading and Interpreting Research in Education. This course can be taken early in your degree but does not count towards fulfilling your program credit requirements.
